I have a 75 gallon tank and just got a 29 gallon fuge. What size return pump should I get? How many gph? Overflow is 800 gph but that seems like too much. I just needs to keep the big tank supplied with pods. Thanks!

I'd be looking at one of the controllable DC pumps, like the Jecod/Jebao DCT 4000 pump.

Is the tank drilled or is it a utube overflow.
Drilled tank you can run lower if you want but a general rule of thumb is 10X turnover which is 750 so pretty much in the ball park. However I try to run low flow to the refugium.
A Utube style you need to run a pump big enough to push the air bubble through the utube so it wont lose siphon.
