Looking for final input on new tank layout


Well after much debate, I have finally decided on a size for the new tank,72x30x26. Now I need to finish my plumbing layout as James intends to start on it next week. I have been playing around with CAD and think I may have come across something I like but would like to hear what you all think.

I am debating on the return pump. I have a Panworld that will push around 1200gph but I am thinking I may want to use a Dart as I am thinking of making a manifold to be able to run my chiller, UV, calcium reactor and a couple of phosban reactors before returning to the tank.

For circulation, originally I had picked up a Wave2k unit. I have spoken to a few people that actually own them and they have good things to say but I am having second thoughts as I am really into having that clean look inside the tank. So still thinking about that.

I will use an 8-way running through 8 Omniflex nozzels for the closed loop. This will be fed by a Hammerhead. I intend to t-off to run both the 8-way and a spraybar behind the rock.

I am open to your thoughts and suggestions. I need to get this sorted out by this weekend, so let it rip. I have attached a PDF for refference.

One thing that will be changed that is not reflected in the drawing is that the sump returns will be raised slightly.

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Looks good to me, the only thing is running all that stuff from one manifold. Ive heard getting something like that to work well and be balanced is difficult. Can you throw together a drwing of what you have in mind?

I have not gotten that far yet but I have seen a few setups with this. What I envision is a few t's in series with ballvalves for each output to control the flow to the specific device.
