for sure. I'd still go with 1.5" drains and 1" returns. Since your thinking of LPS/sofites, you'd only really NEED two returns...cross them with lock-line or the like in the tank.

if you're going to be drilling you might as well drill for 2 returns...the less lockline I see in a tank the better...then you can direct each return to a specific area in the tank

i dont really want to do 2, just because of the way i want my flow to go. my koralia will be on a JBJ ocean pulse and be on the opposite side of the loc-line, so it'll be sort of a mini wave maker
