Tank and sump turnover rate

[Skimmin]

I was just wondering how many times everyone has for tank and sump turnover rates. I have a 6ft 300 gal. I'm running about 1000 gal per hour through my sump and with powerheads about 13000gph in the display tank which is approx 43 times total turn over. Im just wondering if I should increase the flow to my sump. Or stick with what I'm running. This is the first time I've ever run such a small amount through a sump and the biggest system I've owned. I think the water is not as clear as it could be and I'm just wondering if that could help.

With head loss I push about 1400 through my sump on my 180 gallon. I felt that was on the lower end.

I pushed about 800gph in my 180. I felt that was fine. My current 115g runs about 350gph, again, fine.
I like a longer dwell time for skimmer, carbon and heaters. Keeps noise near 0 and tank is crystal clear.

I put 2500 GPH through my 400 and think its almost overkill. Biologically, I think your turnover should be fine.
If your tank is newish, give it a few months and see if it clears up, if not then maybe reconsider the idea of more sump turnover...

Just use a filter sock.

I'm same as brad. Slower sump turn over for longer dwell time and more flow from power heads to keep detritus suspended

And then put a fat ball of filter floss in the sock , it's a beautiful thing

I can't see a benefit to faster turnover rate through a sump, if anyone has one please post it
