How many gph does a pump need to cycle for a sump tank?

I need to know the gph needed in comparison to the tank that the sump uses like would a 350 gph be able to filter a 180 sucessfully??

At 350 gph your pump would only circulate the water in your 180 about twice per hour. That is very low. Depending upon the type of fish you plan to keep in your 180, you probably should aim at 10 to 20 cycles per hour meaning your pump should be able to push 1800 to 3600 gallons per hour. Of course this is assuming that your 180 is a 180 gallon tank. If it is a 180 liter tank, you would need only about 1/3rd the pumping capacity. If you are unable to get a large enough sump pump, you can supplement the main pump with power heads that will help circulate water inside the tank and provide more even temperature distribution, higher oxygen levels and water currents where ever they are needed.
