Is it true that you should double the size of the pipe when using a mag drive pumps? For example my mag 9.5 is threaded for 3/4in should I use 1.5in? Really confused right now.

So I need an electronic solenoid valves for a tank project and wondering if a sprinkler valve would work in its place, cause a true PVC solenoid is like $200 and a sprinkler is around $20.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but for the valve to be "aquarium safe" it:
Anything I could be missing?
- Can't have any water come in contact to metal
- Would type of plastic play a role?
Here is a link to the valve I'm thinking about using.

Well I took some good pictures over the weekend and thought I would post them for everyone to see.
A little about my set up; it is a custom built tank by a local store, here in GA. The display it self is 30"x22"x20" wide so about 57 gallons. The sump is a 40 breeder that I added baffles too. Skimmer is an 110 Octo recirc. (Which I'm looking to change/upgrade to something rated for over 200 gallon.) I run an MRC dual chamber nano calcium reactor and BRS carbon reactor.
