well here is the tank getting setup for a bulkhead that will allow me to run a sump so I won't need that POC red sea Skimmer. But allow me to run a SWC cone 160

trying out the return lines using the chiller lines worked pretty good too.

had the return lines going into this chamber, only for a bit that is where one of the powerheads that circulate the water but its causing mirco bubbles so I had to try something else.

Looks great. Maybe try running the lines into the original skimmer chamber so that the water has to go through the small weirs. Also if those origninal pumps fail you can use a MJ ??size for the right side. Cant remeber the size but it runs cooler & its like the same flow.

Oh ya cool those pumps run hot do they well I'm going to change them maxi jet 1200"a are 300gph
