Default Plumbing Question

I was wondering if I put a ball valve after the return pump to reduce the flow abit if it will burn out the motor or not. Ideally i know you should never restrict the return pump. I bought a mag 18 and i know its going to be too much flow for a 25gal display but i plan on have a 2nd display tank probably 30-50gal once i can find a 2nd tank. At this point I will open the ball valve all the way as the setup idea is to have 2 displays and 1 sump in the basement.
