External pump for my sump!


I have a 60 gal tank and a 22 gal sump. I would like to know what external pump would be good for my setup. I plan to keep a flow of around 600 gph since I have a 1" bulkhead drain coming from the tank.

I was looking at the Little Giant - 3-MDQ-SC Inline Pump and it looks pretty good.

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

my favorite pumps are the Velocity T series pumps. i would go with a T1 pump. it may only say 400gph, but it pushes 400gph all the way up to 28'!! you can pretty much do anything you want with plumbing and get the same amount of flow. these pumps are also dead silent. there is also the option of putting an eductor on the return for upping the flow to nearly 1500gph!!
