I have a 60 gal tank and a 22 gal sump. I would like to know what external pump would be good for my setup. I plan to keep a flow of around 600 gph since I have a 1" bulkhead drain coming from the tank.

I was looking at the Little Giant - 3-MDQ-SC Inline Pump and it looks pretty good.

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Naw man...You should be more than fine. I think it is always better to have a bit more than you need and tone it down with a ball valve if you need to than to have too small of a pump and regret it later. In any event, I'm a flow freak:p My little 38gal cube has a 950gph return pump on it and then 3,000 gph coming from 2 closed loops so that alone should tell you what I think about flow!(LOL) Good luck with it:)
