Anyone have any specs on drains and what amount of water they can handle? Trying to come up with drain sizes for 4 tanks I am going to have share a common sump.

I have found a few sites that do calculations but the one factor I don't know is the velocity. No clue what the velocity would be yet since I am not sure what the drain configuration will even look like yet. (Amounts of turns bends etc.)

Any general rule of thumb charts around?

Thanks in advance.
