Which pump should I go with?

[MBVette]

I am working on making my final decisions on the pump for my new tank setup.

It will be a 210g w/ a 75 gallon sump.

I am thinking of getting a Dart as my return pump. Do you think this will work well?

Or do you think that a barracuda or Snapper would be a better choice?

Thanks

I think a Dart would be fine for a return pump. If you ever decide it's a little too much flow you can valve it back a little bit. Or, if you really wanted you could buy a Snapper impeller to turn it into a Snapper, but really valving it back accomplishes almost the same thing.

I am assuming the sump is directly below the tank, and not a story down. If it's significantly lower than the tank, that's the only reason I'd go with something like a Barracuda.
