Most aim for 10-20x GPH on their reef tanks. With that being said are you calculating GPH based off your Return pump alone or are adding your power heads in to the equation?
I'm running a Rio 1400 with a 3-3/12 ft head pressure on my 50g Cube which roughly gives me 260-290 GPH. Which would leave me short of min 500 GPH. But I have 2 JeBao PP4's which would give me a 1,000 GPH each equaling 2,260 GPH which is more than enough.
So my question is do I have enough flow for LPS and SPS or should I upgrade to the Rio 1700?
