I'm wondering if anyone has a link etc to a site where I can find out the rated GPH for different diameters of PVC pipe? I want to know what kind of flow I can get through two overflows at 1 1/4 inch Sched 40 PVC.. or can I find thinner PVC that will flow more somewhere local?

I try to use only sched 200, way thinner but dont have anyplace to look up stats.

Best place to buy is teresan.

Since PVC is inside diameter you can just go here http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/drain.php?gph=700 and check the flow. If you looking at 2 11/4" drains they should flow 900GPH each according to the calculator.
