I'm looking for a return pump for a 20 gallon tAnk. The over flow has a max rate of 200 gpr. I'm thinking about a smaller mag drive.

I would go this route.

If I were looking to plumb in a 20 gallon tank to a sump, I would want around 50gpm through the sump. That is much lower than most return pumps will go. The Sicce can dial down the flow without needing a throttle valve. I also feel it is a higher quality than average pump since it is made in Italy.
