Another Sump / Flow question

If all devices on my tank (powerheads, skimmer, heater, lights, and pumps) ran 24/7 on my 90 gallon reef it wouldn't cost me $100/month.

Here is a nifty calculator:

Another drawback to more flow through the sump is that the higher flow usually drags microbubbles with it which get chopped up even further in your return pump and blown into your tank. This affects the visual clarity of your tank, and irritates from corals.

What pump are you running??
