New 65G: Plans

[reefBoyDc]

Hey, I just bought a house, so I can get a bigger tank now! We move in next week, but I've already started drawing up some plans for the new 65. I'm hoping you guys can help me avoid any costly mistakes. Here it is, in a nutshell:

65G Acrylic tank from GlassCages (48x18x17)

I will be putting the sump in the basement. The distance between the sump and the tank will be about 8-9 feet. I'm looking at a Iwaki WMD-55RLT to pump the water back up. It has a max head of 26'.

I'm thinking of having 2 overflows for the sake of redundancy. Each will have a durso standpipe draining into a 1" bulkhead.

I want to make the returns go back up through the overflow to keep them out of sight (see attached diagram). I'll probably use 3/4" bulkheads for those.

I will also have a CLS but that's not shown in the diagram.

If you see anything wrong with this, or any potential problems, please tell me. Thanks!
