I recently purchased this aqaurium for an upgrade from my 10g.

I am planning my circulation pumps and was wondering what is the Maximum GPH through these overflows I should be expecting?
 
I believe its 12-1500 gph each, But to get that much out of them you would need a big sump.
 
BTW you would be better goung in the middle of that number (Like 1300 gph each)as when pushing overflows at full tilt they make more noise.
 
I'm pretty sure you can only get about 600 gph per overflow. 1200 total.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't be looking to max the overflows out.

On my 125 I run about 700 gph total through my sump, but in the display I have tons of flow. It allows for more contact time in the skimmer, refugium and or sump.

Just my opinon though :)
 
My bad, it is 600 gph each, I was going to check after i posted and got side tracked. I should have looked before i leaped. ;)
I had a aga with them, But its been 3 years.
Sorry Yeah i wouldnt go to full till it will make more noise, But they are pretty quiet. heres some info from all glass.

The MegaFlowâ"žÂ¢ Overflow System by All-Glass Aquarium is engineered to allow maximum water flow to the main filter system, while greatly reducing the cascading water sound. The MegaFlowâ"žÂ¢ Overflow System design draws water from the surface, mid-range, and bottom levels of your aquarium. This provides more effective circulation and filtration, which in turn helps eliminate dead water zones in your aquarium. The MegaFlowâ"žÂ¢ allows more water flow than the previous All-Glass overflow design and significantly outperforms the competitors tube design. The new design can handle an actual maximum flow through rate of 600 G.P.H. per overflow. The MegaFlowâ"žÂ¢ Overflow is securely bonded and sealed to the back wall of the aquarium with silicone. The overflow construction makes it rugged and durable and allows the user to stack rock or other decorating materials right up against it…no unprotected flimsy clear plastic tubes to worry about. This new back wall mounted design also keeps unsightly plumbing from being seen. Aquariums up to 110 gallons are fitted with one MegaFlowâ"žÂ¢ Overflow and are rated for a maximum flow through of 600 G.P.H. (Using a rated 2,400 G.P.H. pump at a 5 foot head).
