i have a 240 of the same dimensions and this is the flow on my system - it seems to be doing well...

4 @ seio 2600 on two controllers
1 @ tunze powerhead (1200gph) on single controller
about 2000gph in return flow.

im estimating (since the flow is probably overestimated a bit) about 50X turnover per hour.
