Just wanted to add another tip which you may or may not have already considered. If the sump is located behind the tank it would be wise to place it on a stand so it's as high as possible but still slightly below the level in the overflow. This will reduce head pressure to a min so you can run a smaller return pump cutting back on both power consumption and noise.
