I would think as long as your not pumping it out faster then its coming in you would be good to go.

I'm putting a Mag 18 on a 50g tank... with the head loss, it should be around 1200gph as well. I'll let ya know for sure, but you should be good. As long as you don't have any "weak swimmers" like seahorses, you can use quite a good bit of flow from a return pump.
