Powerhead Question

[djcanis]

I've been reading that the ideal flow in a tank is 10 to 20 times the ammount of water. Is that total or for each powerhead. I have a 30 gallon tank so do I want 300 - 600 gallons per hour moving or 300 - 600 per powerhead?

It's the total of all powerheads, closed loops, return pumps and any HOB filters or skimmers.

 

[djcanis]

if I'm running a wisper filter, should I include the flow of that?

Does it hang on the back of the main tank? If it does, yes.
