Not sure if anyone wnts to chime in and offer an opinion, but I am not sure if this is the way to go or not.
This is how I want to set up my return pumps...  I have pan world 250 PS running for my 180 gal that will be coming down. I have a spare Panworld 150Ps The 250 is good for 1900 GPH and the 150 is rated at 1100 GPH. I figure with head pressure etc etc. I should be good for 2400GPH I figure I can have them hooked up to the Apex, which will allow me to have one or both pumps running at the same time. My thinking is that there will be a built in spare, so if one dies, the other is there I was also thinking that I could just run the smaller one at night and the larger during the day, or even both during the day. I think it gives me options and I can not see a downfall. Anyone want to offer up some advice or concerns?

Sounds like a good plan with the return pumps. I wouldn't turn any return pumps off at night. It's the powerheads (if anything) that should slow down for the night.
Sounds like the wall will be good too. It doesn't look like you've modified it at all (which is good haha).

Thanks Myka, I was just thinking of turning off the 250 and leaving the 150 on. You do not think that is enough? I have only been reefing for less than a year now, so still learning. My idea was to run a 3/4" pipe from one end of the tank to the other under the canopy. I would then install 6 or so 1/2" or 3/4" loc lines with different nozzles on them for returns. I think I will put shut off valves on each one to control flow. Not sure if they should all point in one direction or random... I was a carpenter for 20 years, so I am hoping I learned a few things..Alot of weight on it. Last edited by reefwithareefer; 01-14-2015 at 02:04 AM.
