Quick question for the experts here.

I like the look of the gravity fed pvc overflow. That kind of design matches the apartment I live in, its very industrial looking.

My question is, I bought a pond pump for the return with a flow rate of 1100GPH at 5' and 1200GPH at 3'... If I go with the gravity fed option, should I use one larger PVC pipe (2"+) or could I use multiple smaller (1"?) PVC pipes to feed the sump?

Cheers in advance...
