Will add pick off empty drilled tank.
I am running the OceanRunner 6500 on my 75.. gives me 1150GPH on my return at about 4-5 foot head loss. You could probably get the 900-1000gph area with the extra tank size.

As for the inch per gallon rule, I pretty much scrapped that guideline when I got into SW. It very much depends on what you stock, how heavy you are skimming, territorial issues, etc...
