    Looks like you have a 1" overflow and a 3/4" return which is very common.

    I get right at 750-800 GPH through my 1" Stockman standpipe overflow and the same back to the 100G display via a Water Blaster HY-5000 pump at just over 4 feet of headloss and fine tuning with a ball valve on the discharge.

    So it's safe to say it's most likely 700+gph right.
    Now when I do this I put a tube pvc or what but that is about as tall as the over flow gate there annoys right
