external pump for 220. HELP~

[nyfynest22]

Ok i just purchased a reef flo snapper, its rated at 2500gph, is this enough for a 220? ill be running 1x to 2x mp40s, just want to make sure that this will be enought flow, before i hook it up. pump will be located under the stand about 4 feet to the furthest RETURN. what do you guys think go bigger? or ill be just fine?

It's fine as long as you don't try to plumb in restrictive items like chillers or beckett skimmers.
What are you using as returns and what size?

Im just using it for the returns, and one just to drip some water into the refgium. i was told that a bigger one maybe even this one would cause a tsunami lol so instead of the dart i went with the snapper, 2 over flow kits, returns are one inch plan on keep it 1 and a half all the way throught just before it goes up.

That's fine because if you were returning with standard 3/4", they are pretty much maxed out at 850 gph.
