im looking at this pump whitch would be great since im starting out small and ramping up my question is would this be enough flow for roughly 320 gallon system with media reactors and a skimmer plumber in?

Look at Reeflo, better pumps, and local. You'll need to calculate head loss, based on your plumbing configuration before you select ANY pump.

I have had some issues with Reeflo pumps. They work like advertised, but I have never gotten more than 2 years out of one without it needing a seal or bearings or a motor or something. If I was going big pump again, it would be Dolphin Ampmaster all of the way.

I have a Diablo DC10500 and the wattage is as advertised 66W at 2000 GPH (ish, hard to tell) at 10' of head. Ask me in a few years if it is any good since I want to get 5-10 years out of this thing like I have my Dolphins.
