I had a Sicce 10.0 return pump.
Was blowing about 2500 gallon p/hr into the tank trough two 1" returns.
This is a 202 gallon tank 72x27x24.
I replaced it with a ATB flowstar 1500.
Reason for that is that looking into different systems here on R2R, that return flow isn't that important.
If you consider the flow at what specs say at 5', I still get about 1300 gal p/hr
That's still six times turn around on the system not including my sump (holds about 50 gallon)
I know the flow from your circulation pumps, (have 4 mp40's) is more important.
Question is........you think i I did good or should I need a bit more return flow?
