Question regarding GPH Flow

hello all - I currently have a [acronym:f5ac3140f9="Fish only"]FO[/acronym:f5ac3140f9] 90 Gallon tank cycling and just wanted get your input on how much flow I should have regarding [acronym:f5ac3140f9="Gallons per hour"]GPH[/acronym:f5ac3140f9]. Any ideas? Or maybe you have a formula you all use to estimate? Thanks all,

Mike

Rule of thumb: 10 times tank volume per hour. You're looking at 900 [acronym:cb59b77267="Gallons per hour"]GPH[/acronym:cb59b77267]. Less with powerheads for extra water movement.
