I ordered my new tank and it is being drilled for two 1.5 inch bulkheads. I am going to use 1.5 inch elbows with a dorso on the outside of the tank. Any one running this set up know the flow rate? I am trying to decide on the return pump that I need to pick up. My guess if around 600 GPH, but that is just going off of the normal overflow kits. Also anyone with pics of there dorso setup so I set it up right. Thankls for any info. I am looking at a Mag 1800 pump.

600 gph.... I recommend EHEIM 1260 or 1262 for more push. Very efficient and reliable pumps.

I used a Reeflo Dart on my 180gal/75 gal sump-fuge and use it to feed my CR, skimmer and other add-on devices.
