I'd be looking at a pump that does around 1500 litres per hour (closest to 5x volume that you'll find)

is that all the turnover you want from a sump then???

you could go a little higher but a 12G sump doesn't really hold a lot and so if you go too high the sump will be constantly running dry IMO

it won't really run dry, but it will sound like washing machine

5 x turnover is fine
