Iwaki makes some very fine gear and for comparison, the MD 15 is only 33 watts.
You can't necessarily determine the power consumption based on the voltage and current ratings for an AC pump. The power consumption may be much less than 172 Watts depending on the phase angle of the pump's current draw.
