Default plumbing help !! PLEASE

Hey guys......

Its time to redo my plumbing on my 90gal. I will try to explain what I have come up with and you tell me what you think. To start with aprox. 30 gal sump, I will build 2- 1.5ft parts so I can get it into the limited space I have under the tank. one half will be fuge and the other filter, the fuge will drain into filter via x2 1in bulkheads.

Now for the plumbing......

From the exterior pump(I think aprox 1200GPH) it will go to a baffle type set-up, a 1in pvc running the lower back of the tank. From there a 90 on each end then by flex hose up to x2 3/4 sea swirls(I can change the output size of these if need be). From the baffle up the middle then 90 over the top of the tank to a T then 45s and then to ball flex pipe going each way(thinking 1/2 in) then another T off the baffle line back to the fuge at a much slower rate.

The one over the top and the one to the fuge...should I keep it 1in or drop it to 1/2in ???

I think I need a preasure rated pump for this?

hoping to get rid of all powerheads

what do you think

thanks for the advise
Richard
