Im gonna go with no on the pump. I would want to get a 4000 for a 150 at least. I have a life guard 5000 for my return pump right now and LOVE it.. it is quiet and a good amount of flow but not all crazzy amount. 2200 only gets like 594 MAX gallons per hour and thats with zero head. here is a link to the little chart on them on F&S Aquarium Water Pumps & Water Movement: Lifegard Aquatics Quiet One Pro Aquarium Pumps I have been told to be really wary of buying used pumps. The Q.O. pumps are pretty inexpensive for new but a used one I would want to buy at least a 4000 for your tank.
The black box goes inside your tank, you drill the hole in the bottom and sit that over it. I am not sure if they do a durso but that is an easy fix for sure to make your overflow really quiet. It comes with the plumbing stuff too. (that make the holes you drill in the glass water tight)

Ok. I was thinking you had a QO 1500 for your tank or something like that from a earlier post. How tall is that over flow box? It doesnt look like it would go from top to bottom.
I watched the video. It looks like it attaches to the back and has a 90 degree elbow on the back going down to the sump.

Yeah sorry that was my guess at my GPH.. its the "5000" model. Here is a picture of what the overflow drilling etc from glass holes is.. I guess I was wrong it is back drilled.
Still a cool kit IMO but others might chime in. There is a ton of instruction (videos etc.) on that site too.
