Gonna add some live rock this week or grab two lobsters this week Vic, I'm playing with the plumbing again too. I don't like the flow I'm getting with the Sedra 12000 split into two, so I'm going to tee it back into one and see if that improves it. I would rather not have to buy two MP40's, even at my cost they are expensive. If you need a moceans unit, I will part with one if this works at a great price.

you may want to look into the water blaster pumps

Ok, so after running the dual moceans units I've decided to just go with one, two broke up the flow from the return too much and created dead spots. I also added an Eshoppes ATO float valve kit.

Threw 60-80 lbs of live rock in, I will add an additional 60lbs soon.
