    I have a 55gal reef tank I am setting up. Currently I have the mag 7 return pump and 2x 295gph powerheads. Will this suffice or do I need to change out some items?

    Good for LPS, IMO. You'll need more for SPS, IMO.

    You want 20 to 30 times the volume for LPS and softies and 40+ times for SPS.
