  1. I have a 55 gallon with a large gold fish, a gourami, and 4 penguin tetras and 29 gallon with about dozen neon tetras and some panda and pygmy cory cats.  They were living in my 75 gallon tank before I kicked them out to make my SW tank.  😁

  2. I think what you are getting is head loss and the rate of water going into your tank is far less than 3000 gph and your overflows drains can easily handle what you are throwing at it, from what I found at 1 inch drain with a 3 foot drop at full siphon is about 1200 GPH, I am going to confirm with my plumber neighbor on that and I also found this calculator at Reef Centeral http://www.reefcentral.com/index.php/head-loss-calculator and putting in a pump that does 3000 gph based on your turns and pipe diameter, your are actually getting close to 1300 gph into the tank.
