Eheim 1262 pump

+1 for Eheim 1262. I'm not a big believer in heavy flow through the sump, so from my perspective I think the 1262 would be fine for your purposes.

i am just building a new 180G (dual overflow) reef setup and i have a 1262 and 5000+ (both Eheim) pump for each return . the 1262 is obviously with better flow, more quite and less vibration than the 5000+. what i found is even with 2 pumps i still don't get the flow i want. imho i think u should get 2 1262 if u want to run the reactors at the same time. just my 2 cents.

Sounds like you are trying to get all or most of your flow from your returns only maybe.
One 1262 is plenty of flow for a sump return on that size tank unless you are Ting off to something else, rest of flow should come from PH's or loop to the display.
