Does anyone have experience with maxspect duo 12k

Im looking for a return pump for my new 500L tank with 140L sump
Using bean animal overflow all 40mm pipe and return is 25mm pipe. Going for 10x system turnover.

Already bought
Maxspect gyre xf250 (from old tank
Maxspect Aeraqua duo skimmer rated 400-1700L (new)
Maxspect rsx 300w leds (from old tank)
And wireless controller for all of this
See the theme?

Turbine says 5500L with 5ft head but this probably doesn’t account for elbows and T connectors in plumbing and is about 9x turnover. After plumbing will probably be about 8x turnover.

Can anyone share their opinions on wether this is sufficient as i plan on using triton method which recommends 10x turnover. Also people with these pumps, what kind of LPH are you getting out of it?
 
How is the new maxspect skimmer working?
 
I havent set it up yet as i dont have a sump. But my new tank and sump is coming in 4-6 weeks so will let u know once im up and running.
On the pump side of things, i have read some not so positive reviews about poor flow which is a big no for me so i am currently looking into the sicce syncra 9.0 wifi pump and i am yet to find a bad review.
If anyone has any experience with this pump id like to hear?
 
If you avoided the turbine duo you had a lucky escape. The flow is absolutely shocking. Avoid
