I have a 90g, Herbie plumbed (holes in bottom if that matters). I have the new COR-20 pump on order, so pump should be sufficient to get 10x flow (900 gph). What is the maximum flow that will gravity drain through my 1" normal drain?

Assuming the siphon is perfect and air doesn't interfere, I've read up to 900 gph.
But you can never count on anything working perfectly

But I think the actual number is closer to 600gph.
