I have a 29g biocube with an mp10 at about 80% (1200gph...ish) reef crest mode with a 300gph return pump.

Size I believe is a 20in square or so

I have 60 times turnover on my 60 cube at my store. MP10w Vortechs and a MAG pump for return.

mp60, 2000 gph return pump, tunze 6105 and wavebox currently. going to add a new tunze pump (replacement for 6205) when things grow in

117g tank, mag 18 return pump. 1400gph Korelia (soon to be replaced with an MP40.

It's worth reminding that while size of flow is nice, it's what you do with it that counts.

I'm running three, should be four unless I frag soon but I know I won't, Tunze 6045's in tank. About 300+ gph from the sump.

About 4000 gph / 50 gallons is about 80 times turnover....but applied with a fair amount of placement precision due to the tank being cramped as heck, and as mentioned already, a need for more. As a new setup a single 6045 should be plenty, with two (for alternating work) being ideal.
