I've got a 210 also and in my opinion a mag 9 is WAY to small. I've got a 75 gal sump and both overflows go to the sump and refugium and get returned with a Iwaki 55, about 1100 GPH. I've also got a closed loop running with a sequence hammerhead (5800GPH) but it returnes through a 20 outlet 3 section manifold. So with all the elbows and such I've got about 6000GPH flow and it's not to much as some may think. Do yourself a favor and go bigger than you think you'll need and you can always cut it back.
