Does my overflow have to match my return pumps GPH? - Page 2

Hi,
I am going with the 1in drain ordered the bits and everything. I also ordered my sand, and quiet one pump for the return. For my closed loop, should I have something that provides me with currents? Like OM Squirt or SCWD? I've heard some bad comments on those. I hear they end up failing over time. Thank you all for all of your help. I also have another question, would you guys go with an overflow box for some type of surface skimming or just a strainer over the bulkhead? Thanks. ;-) Can't wait to get this thing plumbed and going. I've been getting things together for 3 1/2 months! ugh! ;-)
