Help with powerheads!

Hello, this is my very first post and it is concerning powerheads.

I recently got a hold of a 35gal hexagon tank to move my puffers to until I am ready for an upgrade. I have everything set up with the exception of a powerhead, how do I determine the gph in this tank? It is about 2' tall and around 1 1/2' wide atthe farthest points.

Any help would be appreciated! :-)

in a nutshell, the gph is determined by the sum of all your equipment that pushes water.

The only other thing I have pushing water is my 70gal filter.

What kind of filter is it? Brand and such.
