GRI 510. Quiet, pressure rated, built like a tank. I love the performance of GRIs and the durability, BUT the 518 and 520 have fans that whine. The 510 is fanless.10x3x2 FOWLR (for now)

Oh yeah. The only thing I don't like about Eheim's is that when you run 'em externally the fittings on the pump are metric and they don't exactly fit as nicely as I would like onto inch style plumbing. Granted you can get the eheim metric tubing. I am using an eheim 1262 on my office tank. It is definitely super quiet.10x3x2 FOWLR (for now)

I'm not big on much more than 5 turnovers or so through the sump. I think that you can do just fine at that rate. The rest of the flow is from whatever method you please. The SEQ12 FWIW uses 1.5" in/out.10x3x2 FOWLR (for now)
