i know the advice on a return pump is that i only need so much. but for a 210g with a 65g ish sump would a 1300gph pump be better than a 1800gph pump ??. not going to be running any reactors or anything like that.
 
1300/ 275 = 4.73 turn over
you are going to run a bubble blaster 5000 on your skimmer HY5000W – 9″ x 4½” x 7¾” {1¼” inlet / 1″ outlet}
60watts 97% efficiency Max Flow=1300gph

It is recommended by many forums on RC that you run your return pump at the same GPH as your skimmer

The reeflo external pumps like the Snapper-Dart Hybrid and Hammerhead Hybrid will work well. as you can adjust the pump output and watt consumption

or the you can go with an internal water blaster 5000 pump
