Spot on mate. I believe the fluval 305 is 1000 lph so your turn over will be x 5.5
 
i was looking at this hob filter i gave it says

*SunSun HBL-701 Power Filter- $17.99

• 158 Gallons Per Hour Flow Rate
• For Aquariums up to 40-45 Gallons (larger with additional Filters such as another HBL-701 or Hydro Sponge Filter)


158g is 718 lts and i have a 60lts tank it running in just to keep the water moving so its 11x per hour

but i dont like the filter hanging there lol.... on my iwagumi 60lts turn over is ok but it ugly lol..
