Oceans Motions 4-way...
Here's the closed loop plumbing on the back of my tank:
I'm looking to squeeze in an Oceans Motions 4-way into the outlet of the Dart pump going to the (4) 1" tank feeds... Any thoughts? Does anyone have one of these? How big is it?

Oh MY that's quite the plumbing. I run a 4 way works perfectly with little to no maintenance
It's about 8 inches X 6 inches

Wow, that's big. Might be a tight squeeze, but i'm tired of manually cranking these valve to change the flow characteristics in my tank. One of these 4-ways would do wonders for my tank.

Neat plumbing, what type of bulkhead is that in the top corners?
The 4-ways are a little big, but what takes the space is the unions. Guess though you could plumb it in hard, still leave it in place for cleaning etc. If actually had to take it out, cut the pipe leading into the thread unions. Here's on a Dart for idea of size and sitting on 12x12" tiles.

Thanks Mark, very helpful considering you have a Dart to put next to it!
The pictures of my CL plumbing are a few years old when I re-did my tank plumbing so I can't remember where I got those 90 degree bulkheads (somewhere online - I spent $$ on fittings to make this work in such a tight space)

What's Shawn talking about?? Very strange.
Anyway, I have two Super Squirt 4 ways that I'm not using. There's an old thread here somewhere where I tried to sell them. I'm in Calgary, so if you want to get a feel for size, you could stop by to check them out. If you think they might work, I'd sell them for $50 each. - Brad
