I run 2 6055 and 2 6045 plus 1200gph return in my 130g. Personally I would say you don't have enough flow.

Again depends what your keeping, but I would put at least 1 per end just so the flow is even.

I have a Gen-X PCX40 in the basement and the max flow is 1190gph. I raise the water about 10 feet. So I imagine I get some pretty serious flow from them as well.

Does anyone have a pump curve for it? I've never found one and I bought mine used.

10 feet is a long ways, I would think it would be around 800gph.

Try this calculator

The pump you have is listed as the gen-x mak4
