trying to get an idea on what people are running out there...
Ive heard that you cant have too much flow...i think Im pushing aroun 40X in my 65...it will be SPS dominant when it matures...i dont know if thats too much...
right now i have 35X
but i don't think 100x will be better like some SPS reefer claims.To me as long a there is water flow throughout the tank it does not matter if you only have 20X or 60 X the flow and as long as no direct flow to the corals

Well I have my overflow cranked down to about 850gph or so....my return pump and durso can handle up to 1000, but every time I open it all the way it gets that toilet flushing sound. I also have 2 Koralia-3's that move 850GPH each, so my total flow is 2550 gph i a 4-foot 110 gallon tank.....puts me at 23x turnover rate. I'd consider more, but it already keeps the water moving at a pretty good clip in there....probably b/c even though it's 110 gallons, it's still just 4 feet long.
