Sps flow rate

[bluedevils38]

Okay so I'm setting up a 10 gallon reef tank with probably just a fish or 2 and I want it to mainly be a Sps tank! I have a BB tank and I have my led lights picked out so that's not a problem and I have my skimmer picked out but I have a question about flow. If I have a 10 gallon tank how many total gph should I have for powerheads! Thanks!

Anyone?

It can be anywhere between 30-100x turnover rate. So for your tank you'd need over 300 gph. What LEDs are you planning on getting?

Leds from buildmyled I've heard allot of good reviews from them!

 

[VABumpkin]

That should be great. Good luck!

Thankyiu I have a 230gph pump in there now to help just cycle a little bit and I plan to buy 2 wp25 for my 55 gallon reef and I'll put my old maxijet 900 with 233 gph in there along with the other to give me around 500gph
