sequence
Here are some flow charts that seem to make pretty good sense. http://www.reeflopumps.com/images/flow_charts.xls
I'm still unsure which one to use.
I have a hole for a 2" bulkhead drilled into my sump so thats why I was thinking Reeflo snapper might be a good choice. My tank has 2, 12" external overflows with 1, 1 1/2" drain and 1, 1" return line in each. My intention was to plumb into the pump using 2" pvc. Then run the return line (from the pump) in 1 1/2" pvc and use a 1 1/2" T, 2 ball valves, and reducers just before the 1" return bulkheads... The T would be used to change from 1, 1 1/2" return to 2, 1" returns. I thought running a pump with a bigger inlet and outlet would be a good thing but if this isn't true I'd much rather find out before I order the pump.
