Well if it helps any, we have three separate pumps running on ours.

what powerheads are you running? But go for at least 20 times turnover per hour. So whatever 20 times 75 is...go for at least that when you add all powerheads together (but dont count skimmers)

well it can either be from powerheads or from closed loop or pumps from the sump. Either way, you need to have multiple sources of flow of at least 20x
