Default Basement sump

Well I need more room for my fishy things. So I'm looking to move my sump from under my tank to the basement. My spare laundry room is right under my tank so I can go right thru the floor and into the room. Now for a couple of questions.
1 I have a ocean runner 6500 pump for my return, its only gonna pump at most 10ft up. (depends on the stand) Is this gonna be too much for the pump? I wont be using it for flow.
2 I have 2 300w heaters. Is this enough to keep everthing warm or am I going to have to put 1 on the tank and 1 in the sump? both in the sump? both in the tank none in the sump?
3 Do I need to wrap the pipes with insulation? Noise, heat loss etc, good idea or bad?
4 How do I contol the noise from the falling water? (It will drop 4 ft (inside of stand) then go horizontal for 2ft, and drop the rest of the way into the sump maybe 4 ft)

There are more but I'll start with that.
