So I plan to set up a few saltwater tanks (a 125 and a 75) and I was searching for a solid overflow that wouldn't break the bank. A friend recommended an eshopps, but I can't find what flow rate each model can handle. I see several descriptions saying what tank size they can handle, but I feel like filter statistics are often exaggerated in this hobby. I'm looking to pair the overflow(s) with some Rio pumps.

Does anyone know what each model can handle in flow rate? Or can anyone recommend some overflows that would work well, but not cost an arm and a leg?

Are you talking about an overflow box where your tank is drilled or a syphon overflow that draws water from your tank outside?

PF-Nano...200 gph max
PF-300...300 gph max
PF-800....800 gph max
PF-1000...900 gph max
PF-1200...1000 gph max
PF-1800...1600 gph max

...So I would recommend the PF-1000 for the 125 & the PF-800 for the 75; if you are going with a reef set-up. If FWLRO, then you could get away with lower gph models.

Sweet. Thanks. The 125 will definitely be FWLRO. I might do a reef in the 75 eventually, but it will start out as a FWLRO.
