Looks like you will recirculate too much water going through your frag tank and fuge?
I would have the Drains go into the manifold and the return have a dedicated pipe to itself.
then maybe a powerhead or two in the frag and fuge if flow is a problem.

The main reason i wanted the returns to feed the fuge and frag tank is the detritus. I imagine that if i have the drains going into there, the muck will accumulate rather than being taken out by the skimmer and floss in the skimmer chamber????

I do like the idea of throttling down using smaller pipe sizes and spray bars.

I'm feeding my fuge from one of my drains. What little detritus accumulates is easily siphoned out.

Having a smaller tank where you know it's going to accumulate is a plus I think.

Not having the dwg's to scale is a bit of a problem, those dimensions are critical to doing this properly.
