Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - Should I Pump More or Less?!? That is the question!

What is the calculation for figuring out the capacity of a pipe? This would be great information to have.

I mean, my Sequence pump has a 1.5" outlet and it's rated at 4500 gph. So I just don't see how a 1" pipe is only rated at 600 gph. I must be really missing something here.
