yeah, you would probably be fine with the 2500, no need to have so much flow through your sump imo.

I have an OR 3500 & OR2500 running. The 3500 is on a CL on my 36g tank, the 2500 is my return from the sump. I have never used a Mag pump, but my understanding is they produce a lot of heat and may be loud. The OR are pretty quiet pumps, imo. In fact, the owner of a Mag pump commented on how quiet my system was just recently.
Of course, flow wise, you need to figure out what your needs are. I am not sure you'll get away with the 2500 if you want the heater in the sump to keep the tank temp up in a 90g. But, I am not sure. -A
