No pic of what I have in mind but it will go something like this........

Return pump - check valve - OM 4-way - each port off 4-way split into 2 for a total of 8 returns ( only 4 running full at a time ) in threw back of the tank as pictured in the concept design.

Coast to coast OF - 1 1/2" drain at each end of tank - teed together to a 2" - 2" to 1" tee that will feed my 3 media reactor's - second 2" to 1" tee to feed skimmer - third 2" to 1" tee to feed chiller - end of 2" into filter sock in sump.

Im going through your other thread trying to picture how it would all go together...
Best I can say is rate the wattage with the flow rate and spend a bit extra on the pump with a better ratio

I do have a brand new Reeflo Hammerhead pump but I don't know if it will provide enough flow for what I want to accomplish.

What's that tank plumbed in tho? all 1" and don't you have loclines? Those pumps are flow pumps not really the best choice for pressure situations...

Ya it's 1" out of the pump, then split into 1" but then goes down to 3/4" to 4 loc-lines.

So what I want to do above do you think it would work? I really want to be able to have some SPS in it.
