Here's how I plumbed my herbie on the 180 gallon:
Dual 1.5" drain with ball valve Dual 1.5" emergency drain Dual 1" return with check valve Here's how I wished I plumbed my herbie on the 180 gallon: Dual 1.5" drain line with gate valve Dual 1.5" emergency drain line on IT'S OWN LINE, not connected below the ball valve of the main drain line like it is now. Dual 1" return line with check valve I'll post pics when I get home. I love herbie though and would never go back to durso after having my tank this silent. The loudest thing on my tank is the ecotech radion LED light's fan blowing. Not kidding. It's awesome!

I am sure that should be enough flow using the sizes you provided. I believe you are looking at 700gph per a 3/4" bulkhead. I am using herbie also 1.5 dual with gate valve, 1 inch emergency with no restriction. reeflo dart on a 2.5 split into 2 2in return with oneway valve. extremely quite, and lots of flow. One thing about herbie is if you use a filter sock you will have to adjust it when the filter sock slowly plugs up.
BTW I don't hear my Aqua illumination sols at all.
