I am going to drill my 75gallon and need some ideas on which pumps would work best for the setup I am thinking about. I am going to have two 2in. bulkheads for drain lines at the top of the tank. Probably use external durso standpipes. I am also going to have two 3/4in. bulkheads on the back for lockline nozzles and I will have my two 3/4in. Sea Swirls for returns. Possilby have another return line running to a fuge. I want to have good circulation in the main tank as I suprisingly have several corals including SPS. I will probably just look for a used pump for now but need some ideas. Any ideas?

Chris has a nice dolphin pump....Just kidding, I would use a dophin 3000, they run on 1.3 amps and push 3000 GPH. Impressive for only 1.3 amps. I have 2 one running on a propagation system and one running on a waterfall on my Koi pond. Both work VERY good in my opinion.
