WHAT GPH POWER HEAD SHOULD I GET. ALSO HOW MANY. SOME ONE TOLD ME GET 2 RIO 400 POWER HEADS. IS THAT TO MUCH FLOW. I WILL ALSO BE USING A AC 30 FILTER. MAYBE 1 PHEAD WOULD BE GOOD
 
All the water movement in my 10 is provided by two ViaAqua VA80 pumps, they do 300 l/hr and their output is very adjustable. I have both at about 3/4 power.
 
Both my ten gallon tanks have about 400 gph for flow.

The AC 30 moves about 150 gph, depending on the corals you want a second powerhead moving from 150 to 250 gph should be OK.


BTW, posting in all caps is hard to read and considered yelling on an internet bulletin board.
 
I have about 700gph in my 10g but I also have about 20# of LR in there also and 2 of the powerheads are at different levels behind the rock to eliminate dead spots
