One thing you may want to consider in your over floe pipe is that the larger diameter pipe you use the louder it will be. I use 2" pvc for my 54 corner tank that drains with 3 bends in it to my 15 gallon sump. My sump houses my protien skimmer pump, some live rock and crush coral, as well as my return pump. I keep it about 2/3 to 3/4 full and it seems to be a good size for my system. I've heard about people using 20 gallon sumps on tanks up to 110 gallons, it all depends on how you utlilize the space given.
