Hello I’m somewhat new to the reef keeping hobby. I’ve owned a 10 gallon tank for a while and ive had two percula clownfish I’ve owned them for almost a year. I’ve also recently decided to upgrade to a 20 gallon aquarium because it was given to me for free. Do any of you guys know how much gph I should have for it I’m planning on getting soft and lps corals when my tank cycles

You want to 'turn over' the water in the tank between 20 and 40 times (more or less) with soft and lps corals. So a 20g tank should have pumps that move 400gph to 800gph. And that includes the HOB filter and in-tank skimmer if you have them as well as any wavemakers or powerheads.
