Powerhead & Overflow

[SmoothSmoke]

I'm running a Sicce return pump rated at 568gph before head loss. My overflow is the Glass-holes 700gph kit. I have purchased the Jebao WP10 wavemaker which is rated up to 1,000 gph.

Will this be an issue for my overflow since it's only rated up to 700gph? Will the return pump in combination with the wavemaker be too much flow for the overflow and cause the water to flood the DT?

No. You'll be fine The 700gph is the max amount of water that can safely flow through the box. Your WP10 has nothing to do with this.

The WP-10 circulates water within the display and has nothing to do with the overflow and return pump.

Sounds like a good combination.
