Lightbulb Mag Drive 9.5 and CPR Overflow with aqua lifter

I'm putting together a sump utilizing a 20 gallon long and then eventually a 29 gallon tank. As of now the i will use the sump on a 29 gallon tank, but eventually will use it on a 75 gallon that i'm piecing together in a couple of months. I plan on buying a CPR overflow 600 gph and aqua lifter pump, and a mag drive 9.5. Does anyone have any experience with this pump and the overflow goods, bads, and the ugly? I will be putting it on the 29 gallon for a month or so until i can sell 2 55 gallon freshwater tanks and put a 75 gallon in its place. One more question will the flow be too much for the 29 gallon, i have a korallia 3 in there and a top fin 50 ph. I want to have 3 chambers for the sump, left portion skimmer, center pump and right side a refugium. Plan on having the pump having a t fitting of some sort and having some water divert back to the right side for the refugium. Just trying to get some thoughts from everyone.

75 gallon, Coralife Super Skimmer 125, Penguin 350 20h sump mag 9.5 return, 72 pounds of Live rock, Outer Orbit Pendant 10000k 150 watt metal halide, Outer Orbit Pendant 14000k 150 watt metal halide, (aquac ev 180, auto waste conatiner 2.5L,tunze osmolator 3155 top off) soon to be installed

Mag Drive 9.5 is larger then you need for current return and flow requirements. But if you are planning to move to larger tank. Go for it.

Sounds like you are not going to have any flow issues in 29 gallon tank.

Let us know how all goes...
