Hello all,

I have a 120 gallon tank bottom drilled on both ends, my drains are 1.25". So my question is with (2) 1.25" drains straight down to my sump, 5' of head pressure on return lines, what are the recommendations on the return pump size? Thank you in advance for any responses.

I have a 120 I use an ehiem 1262 with 3/4 return lines works great can't hear the pump and it is a low energy consumption pump prob get between 6-750gph out of it. Def do some research. With 11/2 drains you can go with more gph than what I got.
