    My question is simple.
    I am buying a used fuge that was
    used on a 150 gallon reef tank.
    THe LFS told me the water going into the tank is at a rate of 1400 GPH
    The water coming from the tank to the fuge was off gravity with no pump involved?
    How is that possible?

    2x 700gph overflows and a matched return pump?

    takes some big pipes to move that water tho....

    They probably teed off the overflow. like overflow to fuge to sump back to tank with pump and only using part of the flow through the fuge.
