I plan on doing a "rubbermaid" sump.. but not the kind with like the 100gal tubs.. which I think is what an actual "rubbermaid" sump is..

I plan on using the drawer kind..

and I planned on going with 1.25" pvc with the HOB overflow (I believe it's called)

What would be a good sump pump to use for this? It seems like you don't want one that's "too strong" and definitely don't want one thats "too weak" so I'm kind of in a dilemma..
I was thinking maybe the "Quiet One 4000" which is rated at 991gph..

Also, I understand how the water gets from the tank, to and through the sump, all that, but what would be the best place to put my pump? I originally thought the bottom drawer, but the outlet is pointing straight up... soo any ideas on that?
Suggestions? Help? Pleaaaaaase and Thank you!!
