I run the Red Dragon 150w pump and its overkill. I only run it at 70w since I prefer more contact time in the sump and it keeps food in the display longer. I'm currently going through the process of setting up another 525xl and I'm planning on the 100w model instead.

I'm using this current usa eflux return pump rated at 1900 gph, as my main return at full bore, and the smaller version of the same pump rated for 1050 gph through a UV filter and separate return at about 30%. I've got them both on Neptune flow monitors. Total flow through the sump is ~450 gph. These pumps are very quiet, and have good flow for the money (don't believe the gph ratings on any but the most expensive AC return pumps). They're both pretty stable according to my Neptune graphs.
