To all my fellow reefers. I have my dream tank, its a reefsavvy tank - 72L x 36w x 24h. Need some help, guidance etc. I will need a return pump for this 350 gallon system with sump. Should I get two ecotech L2's or should I get one abyzz 200? I also need to make a manifold as well.

Go with Abyzz. Just alone, you will get better service and support and ecotech has gotten quite rude and greedy over the last few years

Certainly Abyzz. I have two A200's as return pumps on my Reef Savvy system (total 210 gallons) with separate plumbing and one A100 feeding my Lifereef skimmer.

Could you post a picture of your set up?

Sump was a custom-build by Geo's Reef:

Two Abyzz A200s as Return Pumps. Notice a small Sicce pump behind the Abyzz's. It feeds the manifold.

Lifereef skimmer with Abyzz A100 pump:

Here's the manifold that feeds two reactors, refugium, and is used to dump water (water changes):

And of course, we're supporting Neptune Systems too:

I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Unless you are running a basement sump, I'd see no reason for dual L2 pumps. Tank will hold about 230 gallons before rock/sand displacement. Been pretty happy with the M1 on my closed loop, and the issues with the L1 have been largely resolved with the L2. That's the way I would go. I personally prefer using a dedicated, smaller pump like a sicce for the manifold.
