Powerheads for sump/refugium

Does anyone know if a Fluval 301 powerhead or a MaxiJet 600 will have enough power to run an overflow sump refugium? From the floor to the top of my tank is about 3 - 3 1/2 feet.

Also, how can I build my own overflow box? I've got the design figured out for the refugium, but not the overflow box and system.
 
well you did not tell us how big your fuge is....but my guess is....NO....it will not be enough. On my 46gal my MJ900 is not even enough flow for my 4gal fuge with 0ft head.
 
go to marinedepot.com

search for Powerheads, it tells you how effective each model and brand is at a given hight. You best bet is to get a Mag, but check the website first.
