Need plumbing ideas

[tjnorthdakota]

So I have a stock 120 gallon reef ready aqueon tank. It has two megaflow kits with it but wondering if there is a better way to go, and quieter as this will go in my living room. To all you vereran tank plumbers out there and if you have a 120 especially please post pics of what you have found to work the best for a quiet, well thought out for maintenance, hard plumbed tank with a lot of flow.
thanks

If I was you I would set up Ghost overflow system which uses a Herbie plumping set up for the drains. Really quite set up.
Look at this:

I did a dual herbie. Virtually silent.

Check out my build in my signature for details.

Here is a picture on how i hard plumbed my 120. All parts are Sch 80 and Pipe is Sch40.. I used two Wye Check Valves, 5 or 6 Cepex Union Ball Valves.. Also, hard plumped my Aqua UV light with a Flow Meter by Blue White Industries so I can control the flow and actually know how much water i am pushing. Remember, you can never have enough Sch 80 unions..
