This is Google sketchup. Its free to download and there are quite a few demo videos out there. Once you get the hang of it, it works great. This design took me about 2 hours

You'll of course need some true union valves in the mix to allow for cleaning of the OM and your pump.

Bandit,
Do you have any pics of your plumbing and returns setup??? I would like to see if you have!!

Also, do you not find that having the returns facing the sand, it creates huge holes in the sand bed from the flow???

My outlets are on the tank bottom, the fronts are 45, so they shoot up and back, towards rear overflow. The rears shoot fwd, and are about 7" above the sand surface. A little bit of sand blew around at first, took me a bit to get the rocks and such in there to divert/lesen the main impact zones. Also, I'm slowly switching my sugar sand out for a touch more coarser. Well, My Checkerboard wrasse is mostly doing the sand removal LOL Atleast I;m getting a good build in my sump hahaha. But there is some spots behind the rockwork that has like 0 sand. and other spots that built to like 6" depth of sand. Don;t really have any pics, and I'm out of town at work right now.
