Is 400 gallons per hour good for a 40 gallon tank.

This means your water is being cycled 10 times in one hour. Which yes that is a good number.

Rule of thumb is for HOB or external power filters 10x water volume per hour and with a canister filter 4-5x volume. I always tend to overfilter![if there is such a thing lol]
