You shouldn't need more than a mag 7, if that. You aren't really looking for a ton of flow through your sump, usually 3-5x/hr (but certainly no more than 10). You can make up for lesser flow with powerheads and/or a closed loop. You will have to tweak the plumbing a bit to accept the .5" mag 7, but that should work out fine for you and allow you to get the full flow from the pump, as well.
