Cls Design/layout Help

---

I asked about circulation on my 210 g mega flow but I think I want to go CLS. Im setting up a reef tank with a 3" sand bed,200lbs Fiji live rock and we want to be able to have no limitations on what we can have in the tank.
After reading some posts about the CLS systems it seems this would be a better fit. I have never designed a CLS nor do I know what is needed foe an optimal system. FlyGuy seem's to have a lot of knolege in this subject so please jump in. Kinda hoping someone could do a simple sckect of the system so I have someone what of a drawing to reference when Im installing it.

Thanks everyone, Bill

I'll try to help out. I don't have never had one. Here is how I understand it.
Most use a external pump drill 1-2 intake holes in tank plump to pump. Then drill smaller holes where you would put powerheads and plumb those to the outtake. Hope this helps
