That tank has dual 1" drains, so you should use 1.25" or 1.5" standpipes. Rich Durso himself used 1.25" standpipes over his 1" drains: http://www.rl180reef.com/frames.htm

i have 2 overflow but the tank isnt level so the one on the right is doing most of the work and im not really worried bout now because ill be moving in like 2 years so ill just level it then if i need more flow ill just add a closed loop.

Not having a level tank is very stressful on the side glass. The side glass is not designed for that sort of pressure. Good luck.

You want 1.5" (or 1.25") pipes to maximize flow into sump. Keeping your pipe the same size is going to create an irritating siphoning noise. Additionally, your overflow may not be able to keep up with the return pump and you'll overflow the tank.
