Well....LOL. I actually don't have it running yet. I just finished making the sump with some extra glass. I got the pump for 20 bucks, pretty cheap. It was discontinued at petsmart in the pond section.

By this sticky http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205645 I'll probaly use an inch since it's close to 600 gph pump. There will be a little over a foot of head, that's it. Sorry couldn't help anymore.
 
I have a 175g tank with a cpr194 rated at 200g and 800gph but i run 1200gph on it
