Hi all.
I am looking for a powerhead with over 350 gph. I would like to get either a Koralia Powerhead, Rio Hyperflow or something like those.

Recommend the Koralias. Go to OA for one, since you're probably closest to them and are too young to drive. Or Roger's.

I second the hydor koralia, awesome pump, low cost, and it does a lot of flow for a little powerhead!

The koralia is great. For the price you cannot beat it!

What is the recomended flow for what will be a sps tank starting soon(few weeks). so far I have a MJ 1200 at 295 ghp and a my return at about 75 gph.

SPS like lots of flow, and not just plain straight linear flow, it needs to be changing and surging and twisting and moving.

Just a piece of advice, really, you seem to be very inexperienced with this hobby, do you really want to waste a lot of money killing off SPS. Even the most advaned reefers here have a hard time with SPS. I know you are young and I would hate to see you drop $100 on a piece of SPS and just have it RTN a day later.

If your really set on SPS, try a simpler SPS first, like birds nest. Try for a cheap frag from a local, its a better (cheaper) way to try out sps without waiting for months on a waiting list, or shelling out tons of money for a frag that may RTN on you.

I agree with digital_audiophile in regards to flow, you will need varied, and strong flow within your tank. The hydor works really well, so does tunze products so I hear.

Well Ihave sps now and they are happy and not RTN.

I have 3 tunze nano streams and 1 hydor koralia #4 and for about half the price the koralia out performs the Tunze and it seems they put a little more thought into their design than Tunze did.
