yes sir

as a return pump. Is this going straight from the sump to the tank , or will it go thru a chiller. those may be to small for a tank that size

I would also use an external pump if you can . you will get better performance and less heat transfer

and i have another one which is a rio 1700 for the berlin skimmer ...

ehiem pumps are great for insump applications. especially if your going straight from sump to display
