Thats alot of GPH for internal.
I myself have used the Mag18 on my 180gallon display and 100gallon sump without issue. Approx 1800GPH at 0 head.
Also now using an eheim 1262, again works just fine. This pump is less in GPH than the Mag18, but I don't believe the specs, as it seems to run just as well is the old Mag, so I think this pump is under-rated.
Both are very quiet, basically silent, and I cannot hear them.
