Hello everyone. I just finished dry fitting the drain pipes for my new 150 gallon aquarium using the Herbie Method and 1 Inch PVC Pipes. I have 1 primary 1 Inch Drain Standpipe and 1 Inch Emergency Drain Standpipe. Before I glue everything together I wanted to look at my options for a return pump which will be internal to the sump and plumbing as well with PVC. I was leaning toward the Sicce Syncra Silent model as quiet performance is a number one factor as this aquarium is sitting in my family room. I also want dependability and performance which I know the Sicce Line is known for as well. I'm open to other pump recommendations at the moment. But my main question is how much flow theoretically can the 1 Inch drain handle so I know what GPH pump to purchase. Thanks in advance for the recommendations.
