so i have a reeflo sequence pump that i bought when i was getting to excited and buying things before i though about it. i realize that this is way to powerfull for a return pump. i was going to just ball valve it and turn it down but i dont really want to do that. so im thinking that i couold use this pump for a closed loop system. im wondering what is a good pump for my return. i was looking at the Iwaki MD30RLXT with the japanese motor. it is rated at 960. i have four loc line returns that are going to be placed at the top..(i like the shimmer effect). so after head loss, a few 90's and a check valve im thinking that it will run about 250gph out of each return or so the head loss calculator is saying...( really??? wow) is this a good choice or should i go with another brand or another model of Iwaki pump
 
im still building my sump and i have not yet drilled the side for a bulkhead for the pump so i guess it doesnt have to be external
