Yeah, i'm thinking that a Quietone 3000 (780 GPH) because the lower the flow through your sump means more filtration happening in my opinion, and then 1 or 2 koralia 2's (600 GPH ea.) I should be just fine.

Clams do not require high flow, they do better with low to moderate flow. A 30X turnover in a small cube tank will actually have negative effects on clams, too much flow and too much substrate movement will cause the clams to stress out. A pump rated at around 600GPH will be all you need providing over 10X actual turnover which is better for clams.
