Canister filter power consumption.

wow, off the top of my head no... if you want some 'real' results I'll plug my kill-a-watt meter into my fluval 305 and let you know what is has used in a couple days...

I actually just did a little googling and found a couple things that may give you an idea, I have no idea if these are reliable sources.

That's a pretty good list...and as you can see, all are relatively low power consumers.

Yeppers I have all kinds of stuff on file lol-Anne

wow they consume watts that low..

awesome list. I wonder if the 05 series of fluvals use the same power as the 04?
