I have a Fluval 32.5 and got an A5 Nero powerhead. On the opposite side, I have a a RedSea 5V UV filter that creates steady flow. Lastly the inbuilt duel outtake.
How high or how many gallons per hour should I be turning? I have it set at ~950 but I’m concerned I’m still not moving debri enough. Thoughts?

Let the fish and coral talk to you. If they appear happy- no reason for change or increase

I think moving debris is more complicated than just gph.
Many reccomend chaotic or random flow to help remove junk.
