DCP, DCS, etc,
In general you want 3-5x display tank size in GPH after head losses..
So try to calculate your head loss (basically vertical height from pumping place to the highest point its being pumped to plus a bit of fudge factor to account for elbows/restriction) then look at the flow chart for the pump and find the one that works..
Being that these are controllable I actually recommend shooting for one that can do twice the needed flow as you can then run it at 50% which will typically extend its life.
