GPH of the Oceanic RR overflows?

Does anyone happen to have an idea for what they are rated for? I am thinking of upgrading from a Mag 7 to something around 1000gph at a 3.5' head....

Any ideas?

Why would you want 1000 gph going through a sump, thats like double what you want. And that would be like 1o times turnover per hour. I would keep the mag 7

Looks like I am going to be keeping the Mag 7 after all

I guess I am going to be asking for some kind of power heads for Christmas

You could get a high pressure pump and use some penductors .

I would go with a bigger pump, an educter, and you can use your inlet bulkhead as a drain, plumb the return seperatley over the back, and get 450 more gph. And besides the more flow the better. One of Refugiums (a 90gallon on a 300 gallon system) gets about 3000gph turnover.
