I have an embarrassing question [emoji849]. My first reef tank is a 13.5g Evo that I've had going for 7 months. Recent events have provided us a chance to move back to our hometown within the next 2-3 months, which seems like the perfect opportunity to upgrade my tank. I'm considering the R&J Ent. Fusion X 60 gallon long. It comes with 2 return pumps, 264 gph each...my question is does that mean the turnover rate would be 2x264 for a total turnover rate of 528 gph (since there are 2 pumps)? Or it's 264 gph, period?

Correct, if you have two pumps that are rated for 264 gph, youd have a combined gph of 528 :)
 
Awesome, thank you so much for the speedy reply. Is that a decent turnover rate for 60 gallon mixed reef?
It's about 10x turnover which most people shoot for 5 to 10x turnover :)
