DarkEdge, according to the Eheim page, the 1060 consumes only 50 watts. How much of this is converted to heat and put into the water is probably only a small amount, since about 50% is converted into mechanical energy, while much of the remaining 50% is dissipated as heat to the air through the pump housing. My guess is ~10-15 watts is actually put into the water, maybe less.

By the way, hope you all picked up on those penis envy allusions. Marketers use it all the time for cars, trucks, and TVs, so I thought it would be funny to use it here.

Oh, and to go along with the sex motif, I used the faux leopard skin for a background.
