Thinking some Amazon lights nothing crazy currently have AI 16HD x 3 but i don’t that’ll cut it anymore

A rule of thumb we use when spec'ing out pumps (equipment) is double the amount required, so you are on the center of the curve (BEP).
The curve begins at the point of zero flow, or shutoff head, and gradually descends until it reaches the pump runout point or maximum flow rate. The pump’s operating “sweet spot,” or best efficiency point (BEP)
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
