sump tubing

[badassapd]

i have a 75 gallon setup with a rio 500 pump in the sump. i have a 3/4 hose as a return and supply is this ok, or do i need to up size the hose that goes to the sump?

Whats the pump rated for? Im to lazy to look it up. But 3/4 is good up to 1100 gph

the pump is 5oo gph for 75 a gallon setup. what about the intake to the sump is that ok being a 3/4 both lines are 3/4 going to sump and returning to the tank. thanks

also is that 5oo gph pump good for a 75 gallon is that enough flow should i drain the overflow box and get new bulkhead and standpipe also with a 1 inch supply to the sump? i glued all the 3/4 pipes to the return and supply what do you think?
