You want to push the water with the pump, not pull it.
Along the same idea, any time a reducing valve is used on
a pump, it should always be on the output, not the input
of the pump.

Getting back in the hobby after several years out and am currently planning
a reef in my new house. We really did not plan the house with a reef in mind
so we have some obstacles. One, the sump will have to be quite always away
from the tank (1st Floor tank and Sump in the basement). Is it better to
place circulating pump near the tank "pulling water from the sump" or place
the pump near the sump "pushing the water to" the tank. 90gal tank, 150gal
sump. Thanks for the input.
