I had a similar setup for several years before my house fire in February.
Just now getting things started up again. 120 gal upstairs, another 90 gal
downstairs with DSB, skimmer, etc. I used a little giant to push the water
upstairs and got along great. Don't forget to include the additional head
height to maintain your water volume. You will need a little bigger pump
going from the basement. I think you will really like it. You can watch the
tank and other than the overflow not have any of he other related filtering
noises. It also keeps the area around your tank less cluttered. Good luck.

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.
