All depends on the plumbing from the sump I guess? How long a run, how many 90's etc.

I think by the time all that is taken into consideration there would be about 500 gallons per hour of flow...
Thanks

Fine for return. Depending on corals kept you may need a lot more internal display flow

Thanks. I am thinking now larger pump for other reactors. But that also means contant higher wattage...
