I have been looking at purpose built pumps, just figured I would weigh out my options. The reeflo has a pretty steep slope after 50'. Im thinking it will make more sense to just make a man closet in the other end of the basement. It will be much less hassle than running 40' of lateral pipe on top of the vertical parts too.

You might want to try this calculator on reefcentral, I really doubt that you have anywhere close to "40ish feet of head pressure". http://reefcentral.com/index.php/head-loss-calculator

A horizontal foot of run counts for very little in the terms of loss and head pressure.
