Eheims would be a good choice for sure.
I'm using Oceanrunner pumps 2500 and 3500
the 2500 gives you 2500 LPH which is close to 675 GPh and the 3500 gives you 3500 Lph which is around 950 GPH

I had 2 K1's in my Nano 24 and that was great, btw, it's all LPS! IMO I would do no less than 30X's turnover. What do I have now, Vortech MP20 in a nano (no sps). I agree earlier about the heat difference, it's about 2 degrees from my return and display and that's a stock 266 GPH pump.
