Hydor korillia EVO 550gph or possibly the 750, insane sale right now man, can't beat these prices http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=23592

Awesome circulators too, I have the 1400 in my tank, its a thing of beauty.

The rule of thumb is 10x for softies, 15x for lps and 20x for sps. So 200gph,300gph and 400gph. A 550 is overkill

there is no such thing as not enough water movement.

 

[Jrob]

unless it's constantly stirring up sand and blowing your fish out of the tank

Yes there is such a thing as too much

I've got two 425 GPH in my 20 gal tank, one on each side and my corals love it

Stay away from the Koralia Evolution models. They have major problems in that they will end up running backwards. I bought eight and now six of them only run backwards, and the last two alternate directions when turned on and off.
