Setting up a 25 watt UV on a 120 fowlr tank on its own return pump

BRS reccommends 400 gph

I am losing about 7-7.5" head pressure, 4ft vertical, 3ft horizontal, 3-90s with 3/4 inch PVC. I am missing the last step in how do i calculate GPH loss based on the head pressure loss ? Can i run a sicce 2.0 thats rated at like 568 ? or do i just pick up one of the SDCs and adjust it but still im left not knowing the exact gph ?

Thanks in advance
