    55 gallon.

    2x Koralia 2 = 1200 gph
    2x Koralia 1 = 800 gph
    1x Koralia Nano = 240 gph
    HOB Filter: =~300 gph
    HOB Skimmer =275 gph

    Total =2815 gph

    =~50x

    I doubt the filter is really turning over that much water though...

    55 Gallon

    Koralia 2 = 600
    Seio 610 = 600
    Quietone 3000 = ~600 (dialed down return pump)
    Octopus 120 PS = ~250
    Aqua Clear 3 = 100 (dialed down for carbon chamber)

    Total = 2150 (I dont count this as the number as the PS and AC dont move water in the actual tank)
    In the tank total = 1800

    turnover 32 X
