As far as flow, it depends on the size of your drain line. Assuming you use a 3/4" or 1" drain I would say 200-300 gph is all you would want for that size tank. The flow to the sump will only be as fast as your return pump pumps water back into the tank.


Thanks for the info ..Looks like I have a new project for this weekend..
