It will be on a 54 gallon corner bow tank. It will be going through a 3/4" sea swirl. I honestly don't know what pump I have on the tank right now. It was with the tank for years before I bought it. I have flexible hosing attached from the pump to the sea swirl. Only one ben and about 3.5 feet to 4 feet of head. Whatever pump I don't use will be up for sale or trade.

I think you ar pushing the edge with the larger pump on the 3/4 Seaswirl. You may have to split part of it back to the sump.

I would go with the smaller pump. as it draws less watts and you wont be wasting water flow by diverting or using a valve to turn the flow back.
