Pump advice for 45g
Submersible pump for a 45g SPS tank. Is a mag 7 or 9 what I am after ? I don't know about too much flow through the sump (33g) with no baffles, although I can probably MacGiver something for bubbles.
 Any suggestions appreciated.

You could just use an Aquaclear 802 powerhead for your return. I did that for my old fuge setup. With a headloss of about 3 feet, I'm guessing I got about 100-200gph... I know Harvey uses an 802 for his tank's return. The lower flow would help prevent excessive bubble formation.

Deb why not have those hagen powerheads that push around 900 gph, and have them plumbed in the sump with 1" clear flex hose and have a piece of 1/2" pvc with a few 90's to make it hang over the tank.
That os what Doug uses and i have had it rigged for my old 75 gal too with out a sump its very quiet and when i had my old 75 gal sps going there were no sump and i made a fake overflow with the PH plumbed from the over flow looked pretty cool mike
