What size of holes do have for your drain? Generally speaking the bulk head size will be 3/4" smaller than the diameter of the hole you have.This will be the limiting factor for how much water you need to return to the display. Reef central has a head loss calculator you can use to help you figure out what the flow will be with all your plumbing after you decide on a pump.
