I am convinced that I need to build my own scrubber.

I have a 75 gallon reef setup. But I have a 1200 gph pump.

As a result, I will be running significantly higher rate than 35 gph, per inch width of screen.

What is the upper limit of GPH flow rate aross these screens?

Can I get away with say 50 gph per inch width of screen?

50 is fine. Even better. Just watch for spraying out of the slot when it grows thick.
