In any case, it sounds like the 1250 might be a go??? That would be roughly 3x turnover. And what about that? Some people say 2x turnover is sufficient and some say 10x!!! I'm confused!
10x or more turn over means inside the display tank for internal flow.
For example i have a lot of flow for sps corals(6000 g/hr + wave box 5000g/hr on 60 gal tank)
3xhr turn is good for return from your sump to main display.
Personally i think slow return rate from the sump is better it provides more time for skimmer to process the water before it will go back to main tank
