Default Return pump or other pump help

Hey
Just completed my salt mixing station under the stairs in my house and I'm looking for a pump that will pump it upstairs to my tank and the most cost effective way to do this, the tank is upstair on the next floor and about say 25 feet away maybe 10 feet head pressure. Would a return pump be the best option or is there anything else do i need a aquarium pump per say just to pump water change water or is there something better. What do you guys do with your fancy WC systems

Thanks

I'm using my old Laguna pond pump. It has great head pressure.
