1.5" should be good for 1200 gph. I would keep both drains the same size.

1200 gph? Setting up a big tank? Be careful with high turnovers...tend to get lots of micro bubbles into the display if you run too much flow through the sump.

Thanks everyone.... I think I should be safe with two 1 1/2" drains. Just wanted to double check before I drill, going to make my overflow box this weekend.
