    I've got the first coat of paint on the canopy. I've also cut some of my rocks off to rest flat on the bottom. Everything is coming together nicely.

    The system has 2 - 1" drains and returns. The return pump I currently have is a reeflo dart(I believe 3600 gph) I have not ran this pump before, does anyone know if I will need to run a recycle line back to the sump or would the overflows be able to keep up?

    Do you have the regular one or the hybrid? if you have the hybrid just change the impellor to the 2400 gph one. If not then you are gonna have to chuck it down.

    I have the regular pump, would you recommend the valve between the sump & pump or the pump & the tank?

    Put a quality valve between the pump and the tank (the output of the pump)

    Great looking project! Tagging along...;D
