I bought a Jabao return 3400gph(?) Return and it has a 10 min cut off and slow ramp up for feeding and adjustable flow in case its too much. Super quiet

No frills, quiet, energy efficient, AC reliability and bombproof Askoll motor block... Fluval SP6.

Internal. Going into a bashsea ss60 sump

Ecotech Vectra or the Varios series. Good DC

Contrary to popular belief you don't need 10x or more flow. You could get by with 4-5x and that would give you 100x per day tank turnover. That being said, the COR 20, anything in the Vectra, and any reef octopus pump are all known as very high quality DC Pumps. They're quiet, very controllable, and popular for their build quality. Price is high, but the return on your investment is worth it.

I am running a pair of COR-20's because I like having redundancy and running them with an Apex has all sorts of advantages.

When I had that size tank, I used an Eheim I believe 2612 but then went to a very quiet and easy to clean Sicce 4.0

Look into Current E-Flux DC pumps. Quiet, powerful and manufacturer stands behind them.
