Have to diagree on the choice of pump as the Sequence range are designed not be put under the pressures needed for running a bead filter. You unfortunately require a pump with some humph and the down side to these style of filters is the pump usualy haves a thirtsty appetite.

I would say go for a Badu top 14.
