Great looking tank! Wish I could get my renos done and get one put in the same place as yours!
I would say that running your returns straight up and then splitting would be your best bet. Have you done "simulated" power outtage yet? What happens?

the current check valve works perfect. its a ugly noise as it kicks in but its doing good i guess. my checkvalve is clear would wrapping something around stopping the light from entering it help keep crap from growing in there and fouling it up? If your thinking of doing a divider tank on thing in my dreams i should have done if i had limitless cash is gone double width to 36". A 60"x36"x27" would be ideal in my mind so much more room.

Your foxface is a rabbit.
 (I dunno, I always thought "foxface" referred to Lo vulpinus). Yours looks like a Siganus virgatus, which is a sweet fish BTW. ).Everything is looking great.

Be very careful with those check valves. A freind of mine has them and noticed when doing a water change that they had started to leak, bad enough to cause concern for sure. It took a while for them to get to that point but all it takes is a tube worm or whatever to make them malfunction and they might as well not be there when the power goes out.
