Sicce makes affordable pumps. I’m not exactly familiar with that exact tank and sump set up but one of the smaller sized pumps from Sicce should work. I’ve got two tanks both running sicce.

Have enjoyed my Sicce as well. Really is very quiet.
I only know what I've memorized from brs vids.. lol, but the recent consensus is that 4-5 times tank turnover per hour is fine... something around 200gph should get you at least that... keep in mind you'll probly lose a good 40% of the rated flow due to head.
