Alright so I have a 75 gal tank with no sump atm. I have two powerheads and my skimmer. The two powerheads are producing about 1000gph flow. I have no idea how much flow my skimmer gives me. I am planning on adding one more powerhead, a 650gph one, to provide more flow behind my rocks. This should put me over 1700gph. (giving my skimmer an estimated 50gph which Im sure it pushes more than that) I have had people say anywhere from 7x up through 50x your tanks compacity in gph. I intend to add a sump within the next few months whern I have the money, so Im assuming this will add another 500+ gph?
Is this a fair amount of circulation for a mixed reef tank with mainly softys?
