Freshwater test will tell you, and as long as you dont cement the nozzles in, which I wouldnt anyways for cleaning purposes, you can adapt down to smaller real easily. I'd fill tank to just below nozzles and try it, if your drain/overflow will allow that. That way you can see the water coming from each pipe easily.

Yeah I can probably fill it a bit lower for the test. Im not so sure about anything lower than 1.5" nozzles though. I really don't want to reduce from 2" to something like 3/4" or I may as well have used a much smaller pump too. I think this pump at 6000 GPH can give good flow to all the outlets even at 1.5". I could be wrong though.
The nozzles will not be cemented in either because I do not want them stuck in one place. The tank is so shallow that Im sure this will give more than enough flow to the whole thing and then some.
