Hi, Ive had a 55 gallon freshwater tank for three years now and I am planning on converting it into a reef tank. I was planning on purchasing and using a cannister filter, but Ive noticed that many people suggest having a water turnover rate of at least 10X the size of the aquarium in gallons. That would mean I need a filter with a turnover rate of 550 gallons per hour? That seems very high, and it seems like a pump that powerful would blast water through my tank washing my fish all over the place. Is that really the required flow rate for a reef tank?
