Default GPH ratings for PVC ?

I'm wondering if anyone has a link etc to a site where I can find out the rated GPH for different diameters of PVC pipe? I want to know what kind of flow I can get through two overflows at 1 1/4 inch Sched 40 PVC.. or can I find thinner PVC that will flow more somewhere local?

Since PVC is inside diameter you can just go here http://www.reefcentral.com/calc/drain.php?gph=700 and check the flow. If you looking at 2 11/4" drains they should flow 900GPH each according to the calculator.
