I am planning to move my sump tank into the basement, and pipe through the wall.
I have a 90 gallon tank. And the sump will be about 12 feet below the display tank.
Depends on your sump setup and how much flow you think you will need. There's a lot of head loss to account for too. I think most guys doing what you are planning use external in line pumps.
