    I don't understand what's hanging on the left side of the sump (the gray things)...please explain.

    As for your return pump, match the flow to your O/F's flow rate or go just a tad higher as you'll get some flow loss due to head and friction.

    Sicce Syncra Silent series is a good pump line, but a little pricy (I really like them tho). Water Blasters are getting some good reviews, and are reasonably-priced altho I've never used one. Then there's the ol' reliable Mag Drive line...good price, good performance, not as quiet, last forever.

    I'm gonna give my Deep Blue Triton pump a shout out here.
    No one seems to be using them and I really like mine. Dam near silent, even valved back about 50%, super low watts for the amount of GPH it's rated and it's very affordable.

    And I have had good luck with my Marineland NJ3000. I have never really heard of anyone else using them, but mine has been running 24/7 for 14 months. No issues at all, its quiet, and decently priced.
