Default Return Pump Size?

I've got a 125 with a wet/dry sump that came with a CA2200 return pump. The sump sits about 5 feet below the top of the tank, and I am putting in a SCWD that I imagine will cut down on the gph return. Should I upgrade the size of my return pump? I was looking at magdrive pumps but wasn't exactly sure which on would be the best bet. Thanks!

I have a 75 gallon, sits 4 feet below the top of the tank and also use a SCWD, and I am running a mag 12, I suggest that you look at the Mag 18
