Have a 225 gal. w/corner overflows. Came w/1" drains and 3/4" return. Okay to use for SPS tank or should I move up to 1-1/4" drains and 1" returns? Thanks
 
Opinions will vary but I'd keep what you have. My tank only has 4x turnover through the sump and 30x with powerheads in the tank. I think flow in the tank is more important than flow through the sump.
 
Thanks for the replies..............Return pump is a Red Dragon 150W and I have 4 MP60s.
