The linked pump is 158gph out, and while I didn't check the head loss for your pump, I highly doubt that you will come anywhere even remotely close to restricting your flow enough to matter. I actually think that you will have way way way too much flow. Your pump will be on for such short intervals that I would worry more about damaging the pump from the very short on/off intervals.

Oh I thought I could restrict the flow as much as I want with a ball valve? Is that wrong?
I plan to lift the water about 36-48 inches. The only reason I want super slow flow is because the Hydor Smart ATO requires you to fill super slow otherwise it doesn't work and sounds the alarm.
