Which pump for basement sump?

I've decided to drill through the floor and put my sump in my basement. I'm not sure which pump to purchase to go with this. I plan on running a beckett skimmer and need to go up about 12 feet for my return. It's a 90 gallon tank so I'd like at least 900 GPH from the return, plus enough water at a 1 foot head to run the beckett.

Since it will be in the basement noise isn't the biggest issue but I'd like something that doesn't pull 400watts.

Any thoughts?
 
Just get somthing pressure rated.


Velocity T3

Or maybe

A good ole Iwaki.


Blueline pumps are also really good.
 
I used a sequence dart when I was using a basment sump with the same head. It was alot more than 900 gph though.
 
Do you think it would be able to run a Beckett also? That's key that I can get enough flow at twelve feet and still be able to run a beckett next to the pump.
