I prefer using a smaller volume pump for the return I feel that the sump is a good to increase your water volume and a place to have water collect for your skimmer.Fuge,reactors.
A Ampmaster 3000 is rated 3000gph at 5' so thats a hell of a lot of water going through the overflow/s really dont need that high a volume.
Another thing is the amount of tiny bubbles that will be created will be incredibly high and you will definatly have it returning into the tank at that volume.
On my Tank(125) I have a Rena 1200 for the return at 5" it is supplying 900-1000 gph.
