ok guys and girls i just got my new tank in a 84x36x25 glass cages

it has :
3 - 1.5" drains
4 - 1" return bulkheads
1- 2" closed loop suction outlet
2 pcs 1" seaswirls
3x mp40
2xmp60
4 xf gyres and a wave engine

I have purchased 1" locline segments and 4x 1" vca random flow generators

I have 2 new in box vectra L2
one new in box varios 10

was considering using the vecras for the return pump/manifold and the varios for the closed loop.

I feel like I am over complicating things but this is a 10 year anniversary build and hopefully my last upgrade for a long time.

I was considering taking the 1" pipe from one bulkhead and going straight down under the sand and making a string of 3/4" nozzles to blow bottom to top and all over while running the other 3 nozzles off the two vectras. i will take 1.25" pipe straight to the 1" bulkheads as to keep restriction to a minimum. looking for suggestions on how to utilize what i have to the most of my ability.

I can also sell vectras and get another varios 10 or vice versa. i will post an amateur sketch of the closed loop idea below

thanks
Glenn
