Setting up six individual 5 gallon buckets on ebb and flow system.. was wondering if a 396 GPH pump was adequate enough? The next step up is 600+GPH but it was a bit pricey

Can anyone clarify why you would need such a high powered pump? Is faster water flow more desireable? or are the 4000 GPH pumps for like swimming pools... and will 396 gph be enough for six 5 gal in a 35-50gal res?
