Setting up a new 350. Ran sumps in the past but it's been a long time since I've gotten back into it. My drilled holes are 2.5 inches so you figure 1.5 inch bulkhead and 1.5 pipping. I know there's a breakdown somewhere but what GPH pump would I need too get so the flow in the sump is correct and do yall recommend Any brands?
 
There is no "Correct" really. And depends on your exact setup, what is in the sump,how the sump is set up. If it's a full siphon setup 1.5" piping can handle somewhere in the region of 2000gph. If it's not, more in the 1300gph range. So, I'd probably aim for a pump that will produce about 1000gph
