Does anyone done any tests to see how much heat any pumps put out? This seems like an important number to know when choosing one.
Yeah I tested my Eheim 1250 (320GPH). It was 9w IIRC. The rating is just startup power, not actual use. Your Rio is probably in that range.

IOW pump heat is virtually nothing unless you have a truely huge pump.
