I would recommend going external if you have the space. I think you can get a more efficient pump. It also gives you more room in your sump for other things. Even with a 90 gal sump you always with you had more room available.

The main reasons for external are HEAT, HEAT and HEAT.

Oh yes and then there is Quieter and more Flow.

Eheims can be run externally, like my 1260. It's great and much easier to do maintenance on provided you hook it up with true union ball valves.
