before i can answer this, whats your drain bulkhead size?
yes. you might need to T cause it has 800 GPH at 4'
First one....WHAT??? I don't know, what is my drain bulkhead???
Second how do I T?
opps G i just reread your thread and your going for overflow box. each one does 600 gph so yes your right! heh
second, heres a funky pic of my return pump set up. LMK if anything confuses you
when i meant T, i meant with the PVC T.

LOL....IF anything confuses me, NYC....haven't you figured it out by now, pretty much everything confuses me, until I get to doing it...LMAO!!!
Well, once I get things I can figure it all out, I just need to know what I'm ordering first then go from there, it will most likely be Monday before I order anything and hopefully I am able to order both the overflow and pump then.
Thank you!

My pump pushes so much water i put a T pice and a tap inline and this will give me enough pressure to run my chiller when i get one.Buy the way great skimmer I have the Octopus NW-110-6520 So let me know how it gose because yours will be up and running befor mine
That pump is probably more powerful than you need. It's rated at 750 gph at 5', which I'll guestimate is your tank height. If your overflow box is rated at 600 gph, you'll be pumping water out of your sump faster than it will fill, and your sump will run dry (and you might overflow your tank!).
You could split the return and have a portion of it going back into the sump, or get 2 overflow boxes, or drop down to something like a Mag Drive 7.
