Is a Rio Plus 1000 with a needle wheel impeller used for CO2 circulation overkill for an 80 gal tank? It will be in a W/D sump and the output will be fed into the return pump. If an intake venturi is added, can the CO2 line be attached to the venturi tube port as the way to feed the CO2 into the pump?

Yes and yes 
I use that setup on my 57 gal but also use a small cerges to remove most of the mist and bubbles. Works great and I will doing the same setup on my 75. I use the same setup on my 220 as well.

If you added a cerges, did you put this inline on your return line or is this on a separate return line? I had a modified impeller pump for crushing CO2 that fed into my return pump but it created mist in the tank. Do you have a thread on your cerges set-up?

Hi, the output from the cerges is routed back to the main sump tank and then gets distributed via the main pump returns.
Works really well this way I find.
