Optimum flow gph

[jonnywink]

I have a 55 gallon FOWLER tank and need to know what the water flow should be. Right now I have one SICCE XStream 5000 rated at 1320gph and a Marineland 360 canister filter. Do I need another power head (or whatever they are called)?

The only thing you need to worry about in your tank is enough flow to create surface agitation for oxygenation, and enough flow down low to prevent detritus from piling up. If you have both of those covered, you’re good

Thank you.

Thank you.

No problem! If you start adding corals later, you may need to re-evaluate
