Pump for UV

What would be a good pump to run a Aqua Classic 57 Watt UV? UV's input and output will be at the sump.

I'm in the market right now and probably getting the 57 aqua uv also. For 300 gallons I would run it as low flow possible in the range of 300 gph so you are turning it once an hr. Depends also if you running in line or sump to sump or seperate pump to the tank. A Sicci 2.0 is a good option.

I have a manifold but would like to run a separate pump in the sump from one compartment to the next.

Then something in the 300/400 gph range pump would be fine. I like Sicci because of the low power consumption and their 3 year warranty
