MJ-1200 Question

Does any one know how much GPH change there is when you go 1ft above your water line in your tank or sump because I'm hooking it up to my GFO reactor and would like to keep the GPH up to the 295 per hour. The box says max height is 69 inch but how much does it change. Right now I have a pump on it doing about 200 GPH but I don't think its enough.

Looks like it appears to flow 185gph at 1 foot of head pressure

if your running GFO all you want is a gentle tumbling you dont want it to much cause it will grind it up, so as long as you see the GFO moving enough that it wont bind together that should be ok

I'm not even getting that right now with the pump I have and it seem that the pump I have puts out more GPH than the MJ-1200. I'm running a rio-600 on it what is your input on the two pumps what one do you think I should run.
