OK, so I know I haven't quite finished my 125, but I am getting another 30 long tank together. I have everything I need to get it going, but I was thinking of plumbing a little differently. I have a 700gph mag and 500 gph odyssea. Both have been used as return pumps in the past.

I have a 16"long x 6"tall x 3"front to back calfo that Ace built with 2- 3/4 inch durso exterior drains(it is like the mini version of my 125).

I am going to run my 700gph as my return that is going to split into 2(traditional), but I have enought room to add the additional 500gph in the sump(heat is not an issue), and I was think of plumbing it up and around the tank in a square with 6 small "jets pointed down into the tank. The flow wouldn't be extremely hi, but it would add some current changes throughout the tank.

What do you think? Good, bad?


BTW my lighting will be 1 175w 20k Metal Halide in the middle retrofit. Not issue there.
