Need help with return pump decision

Hey guys,

I need help with a return pump question. I am working on setting up a 45 gallon tank. The total height of tank and stand is 48 inches. 1/2 inch return plumbing. I have a Sicce Syncra 2.0 pump already that I was going to use, but I am not sure if it will be enough flow or if I should go up to the 3.0

Syncra 2.0 is 568gph

Syncra 3.0 is 718gph

I do plan to add a manifold down the road, so I need to take that into consideration as well. Tank will be stocked with mostly LPS and softies, maybe a few easy SPS down the road, and will be running dual MP10s.

 

If I need to upgrade to the 3.0, I would like to do it this week while they are on sale for the holiday, but, of course, if the 2.0 is good enough, I would rather save myself the money to put to other tank needs.
