Well good to hear from ya , pump either a mag 5 or a mag 7 throttled back would probly work well, for a sump I've been using one of those plastic totes from walmart or lowes works great for me just make sure if power goes out you have enough room above your sump water level for the water from tank until overflow stops and return stops back siphoning skimmer I've read alot of good things about the reef octopus skimers the 150 would work good the 200 better if you can afford it.
