Help sizing a pump for a new system.

[tnash6362]

I am in the initial stages of planning a replacement system for my 55 g. reef system.

I want to put the fuge and skimmer, et. al. in my basement because I am tired of fighting the space problem under the main tank.

If I am upgrading to a 120g tank and the basement is 9 feet lower, (13 feet to the top of the tank) what size and make of return pump should I look at to give me sufficient flowrate for a reef tank?

Thanks.

I would check into little giant pumps that is what I use but not for a return although could be.
