I was scared to shift the glass in the over flow, didn't know it cured that quickly. Its dap clear window and door silicon, non-GE II. I made sure not to get that!

Hey just to interject, volume capacity is not directly proportional to pipe diameter. I'll see if i can find the specs but in essence (1) x 2" pipe carries a whole lot more than (2) x 1" pipes. Physics, I don't fully understand it but they do call them laws.
um.. maybe you can read this it hurts my brain this early..

I'm clearly the retard...or half of one. The right side of my brain is going to be out of comission for a few days. And that was my good side.

Not physics actually, just a little extra simple math. You have to calculate the cross sectional area instead of using diameter. As you double the diameter of a circle, the area quadruples. The area of a one inch circle is 3/4 square inches but the area of a two inch circle is 3 in^2.
ah now i remember the shortcut
1d = 1f
2d = 4f
4d = 16f
so to double the flow you would only need .5x more diameter. So based on midnights .75" = 256gal/hr you would need a 1.5" to carry 1000gal/hr. I think.
yer gonna want 2" pipe all the way DrZacharyus.
