Update 120 (actually 125) moving to a 75....

My 120 nightmare (tank is actually 125)...is almost over.

If you happened to see my previous thread ( http://www.3reef.com/forums/general-reef-topics/my-new-120-nightmare-71785.html)

You know the situation i was in. I was able to successfully keep my reefing aspirations alive with my wife and got her to agree to a 75.

Then i hooked up with Oceanparadise on here and am trading him the empty 125 with the stand, for an empty 75 that he has - and some frags. Sweet!

So i built a stand and sump. Been working on all the plumbing and everything. I am picking up the 75 tonight and ill start moving everything over.

Looking for opinions on something - i have two return lines. I am wresting with the idea of plumbing one of the lines down to the bottom of the tank and hiding it in the rock. Then i would have that flow in the bottom (which has two nozzles) and then run the other return up to the top by the overflow and have those two nozzles.

Or i can just run them both to the top and have 4 nozzles directing from the top two corners....

What should i do and why?

 

Return line at the bottom? that would cause a siphon on a power outage and drop all the tank water into the sump ? or am I misunderstanding you?

 

That would happen if i didnt take the right precautions...

I think i decided to ax the idea anyway due to the huge PIA factor...

And the bills are on MNF tonight and i need to get it done tonight;D
