Thanks Myka,

I was just thinking of turning off the 250 and leaving the 150 on.
You do not think that is enough?
I have only been reefing for less than a year now, so still learning.

My idea was to run a 3/4" pipe from one end of the tank to the other under the canopy. I would then install 6 or so 1/2" or 3/4" loc lines with different nozzles on them for returns. I think I will put shut off valves on each one to control flow. Not sure if they should all point in one direction or random...

I was a carpenter for 20 years, so I am hoping I learned a few things..Alot of weight on it.
