    I just finished mine plumbing and manifold. I used Spaflex instead of pvc for less vibration and better withstand against torqued .You can bend Spa flex to avoid elbows. I also try not to have any 90 degree elbow.Do you have one or two returns coming from the tank ? You have any strainer at the inlet? It good to have some type of strainer at the inlet,bc the used Sequence i got with my tank had a hermit crab inside the impeller housing,causing alot of noise..lol..I had my 2 drain lines just like yours but making too much noise so am going to add two Sanitary tee at the end to eleminate the noise.Sanitary upper end will cap with 1/4" hole and air hose.

    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...
