    Poseiden brings up a good point. I will be limited by my overflow. How does one estimate howmany GPH an overflow can handle. Mine is 4" by 4" with 1/8" slots on three sides.

    What size U tube does your overflow have? The diameter of that tube will tell you how many GPH it will move. I think a 1" tube will move 600 GPH but you may want to double check me on that.
