Using the data for a maxi-jet 1200 and the head loss calculator on Reef Central...
 
At 1 foot of head pressure with 3/4" pipe and 2 - 90 degree elbows: 182 gph
At 2 feet of head pressure with 3/4" pipe and 2 - 90 degree elbows: 51 gph
At 3 feet of head pressure with 3/4" pipe and 2 - 90 degree elbows: 0 gph
 
I vaguely remember using a Maxi-jet 1000 for a return with 4 feet of head and the flow was real slow but there was some.
 
Thanks,
