I got a Marineland C530 canister filter second hand for $75. According to Amazon, it has enough filtration: “100 to 150-Gallon/530 GPH”. But aqadvisor says it’s not for enough for much at all.

I think I’ve heard one should get double the filtration the labels say. Is this accurate.
 
I'd aim for 8-10x tank turnover. So 1,040 to 1300 GPH. Looks like that's about two of those.
