Not sure I follow your machinations or the flow rate you are predicting.
My method:-
Eheim1048; flow rate 2.2 lpm indicates 1.335 m(H2O) System PD (Yellow data point)
Construct "System P/Q curve" assuming P=Constant*Q^2 which gives the "dotted black line" with an intersection of the "Iwaki P/Q curve" at 4.79 lpm.
The predicted Flow Rate is ~ 4.8 lpm
