If you're looking for gpm, run for a minute and see how many gallons you pumped, or time how long it takes to pump a gallon and figure it from there.

Just ordered mine.

Since I can easily get to the top of my tank I have a marine deck plate in mine. I just open it up and can see how much water I have. Also great for cleaning the inside of growth.

Is it "positive displacement" ? (as in it doesn't matter how slow the water flows, the impeller inside turns?)

The OP mentioned having difficulty going up a steep grade with a full tank.
