i would start with 1 tunze 6000 and go from thier
i think 10-15 times over would do just fine

imo 10-15 isnt quite enough. I'm at 20 on my softy tank and i'm gonna get more as more money comes to hand. So i'd say start with 20. this will be about 3600 gph total with all pumps added together (not skimmers tho) Just dont put the lps corals in direct flow, or if you do, just make sure they're not like 2 inches from the thing lol. Make them farther away from the source of flow, like a couple feet or so would probably be fine.
