However, if you look at artitcles that recommend flow rates for tanks, the drop in efficiency could be designed in to make sure that the flow is not too much at the outlet.

The again, Eheim cost a lot of money, so I think it make sense to get what you paid for.
Liquid has definite volume. Just wonder where does the water go if the design of making lesser flow at the outlet causes a drop in the efficiency, yet the flow rate will still be the same as claimed by Chan. It just contradict the statement.
How does it make sense to pay such prices?
