Ocean Runner is very accurate on the wattage. The listed wattage is at full flow with 0 head, as you add head the wattage decreases. I have results from a 2700 on a skimmer and two different 3500s but am doing a remodel and canot find the tablet its written on right now.

so for a closed loop I am looking at 38 watts or so. That is probably too much for my little tank unless OR's are really really quiet .

On my 100G I use a 3500 on a closed loop through a Squirt and its got pretty good flow.
