Pump question

I just managed to get a 35gal tank with a 20 gal sump. Anyone know what would be a good size pump for it?

At this size, most pumps will do the job......they don't get recommended much but I think the Via Aqua is a good pump. I have had one for years now.

The VA1300 flows about 100gpm@4'TDH which should be around what you need (3-5X flow)
