I think either one would work, if you go bigger you have the wiggle room if you want it. You can always dial back the return pump.

fijicube 20. Drain Input Size is 2x 1"
MM 1200 bulkhead drains is 3/4" but they can customize the bulkhead and drain sizes. some people says box is a little bit tiny for 1 inch. not sure if customize is good idea for 1200

Go for the 1600 gph box by Modular Marine, for the longer weir length and the standard 1” bulkheads. I have the 1200 gph box for my 36” long tank with the upgraded 1” bulkheads and though I made it work, the room for plumbing is very tight. My next tank upgrade will have the MM 1600 gph box on it,

Join a standard elbow with a street elbow. Should give you enough clearance to fit.
