Just go with a Laguna pond pump then which is exactly the same pump/motorblock but cheaper without the fancy volute and base plate. Also the Water Blasters are basically the same pump and very reasonabily priced. My 1800 will be split into two 3/4" returns and that should be plenty of gph at 1800 at 0' head

i should draw up my plan but it would taketoo long .. what i hope to do is 1" return split left to right halfway down tank then split again on each side with higher and lower outlets on each side hidden within the rockwall so alot of 90 degrees and pushing in at different levels to add flow tothe tank. you should be fine with your setup pushing into top of tank. with what im planning i call it the jet tub effect lol
