Had a similar situation a few years ago with a 150 containing 2 overflows. Used an Iwaki 40, 1 1/2 return line underneath the tank I put a T reduced it down, put ball valves on each side of the T than ran them to bulkheads. The pump was plenty, but nowadays there are other pumps that people seem to prefer b/c noise and what not. If I did it again I'd still use that pump, very dependable.

Both, it has a threaded input and outlet.

Blueline 55 or Panworld 150 and throw a couple of penductors on there to spice up the flow.

I am in the process of installing a besement sump, and ordered the Sequence Wahoo. I can't tell how it works since it is not installed, but I read a bunch of posts before I decided on that one. It's worth looking into.

run a Mag 18, 8ft head, works for me and my mentor, they may be something better out ther, but like I said works for me, alot of higher flow pupmps loose flow with that amount of head, where the Mags donot.

I have the same setup as you and I run a Panworld 200 pressure rated. I like the pump, quiet and good flow in display tank.

little giant 5.5 running for 15 years or more! cheap and powerful with slight fan noise

I'm just hooked up a dart pumping upstairs to a OMSupersquirt compact...not enough flow, planning on upgrading. Very quiet though.
