It depends if you are doing a Herbie or a durso. Durso you are limited to about 600-700gph per 1" drain. With Herbie (being full siphon) you can run way more gph through a 1" pipe. My tank is about 1100gph through a single 1" pipe at full siphon and my gate valve is still closed off a little less then half.
I put a 1" Herbie on my 29 gallon frag tank using a 3/4" bulkhead. That was overkill. My drain valve is almost closed. Maybe someone here has one you can go see to determine if it will work for you.

Ya i'm 99% sure thats what i'm doing, i'll do two 1". I've only seen a couple in person but i've done enough research online and decided that what I want.
I'm probably going with a barracuda pump.
Indefinite hiatus from sw aquariums.
Once I have my glorious return I'll set back up the following. 50 Gallon rimless cube. 180 Gallons mixed reef paradise
IT was not throttled back at all. IT went to the tank by way of 4 3/4 lines. I had to throttle one return back to allow run off through the uv sterilizer. The pump is fairly quiet. I will be running it on my new set up.
