return has to be equal to or under if it is pumping higher it can overwhelm the overflow. the return GPH doesn't have to match the overflow because the overflow can only drain water as fast as the return pump provides it. If you need more flow in the tank you can supplement the return with...

it kind of makes me laugh that algae scrubbers seem like such an idea that has never been heard of but havebeen used on aquariums for probably 20 years. Granted it was in a shallow tray with a dump bucket and that this is a different version of it.

nice anemone. what are the dimensionson that tank?
