What Pipe Size?

I have a 95 Gal tank upstairs and am setting up the Sump downstairs.

I will have the main pump (Coralife 1740-p) hooked up to a Megaflow overflow.

The Circ pump will be the coralife 1100-p which will be hooked up to some sort of manifold with an Oceans motions setup I think.

I have 15' Vertical and 15' Horizontal.

What size PVC do I use for delivery and return on these two circuites? Both pumps have 1" inlet and outlets.

Thanks in advance

If it helps, the The CL 1740 says it will flow 20 gpm at 20' vertical.
