Way overkill. Should shoot for around 5x display, imo

Welcome back
 
The easy pump to get is a DC pump, something like this Ok that did not work but a Jabao DCP 8000 pump should work great, I have a 6000 on a 120 and at full speed it is very slow, but my overflow cannot handle high flow. The sweet spot is run the pump at half speed.
