Setting up a 150. Return pump question.

[acrum222]

In the process of setting up a sca 150. Sump will be a 40 breeder with glass baffles in place. Return drains are one inch. I am thinking I want to do dual return, with 2 sicce syncra silent 4.0s. Should the 4-5 ft of head pressure-ish. Getting somwheres in the range of 600-700 gph each. Think this would be a good return flow set up? Thanks for the input all!

No problem with that setup. 4.0's would be a lot of sump flow though, personally I would probably use 3.0's or maybe even 2.5's.

I think two return pumps is a great idea, even better if you can plug them into separate circuits. You will get a nice silent option as well.
