What size return pipe / hoses? 1/2inch ?
What return size with RFG (Random Flow generators) from duel return pumps with UV....
RFG - are they any good ones?

Tank details
85G DT and 35G sump (based on 50% volume) = 120G total water volume. Or 454 litres.
Over flow 1200GPh - Modular Marine - with 3/4" bean animal.
X-1 Filter roller
Duel 2 x DCP-3500 pumps. - 925GPH each
Deltec 600i skimmer
Bubble Magnes - CR120 Calcium reactor feed with a FX-STP2 dosing pump - yet to purchase...
Turn over ... x6
DT turn over x 6 = (454 litres) = 2724 litres per hour / 2 = 1362 litres per pump.
So I guessed 1362 litres SHOULD be possible from 3500 litres rated pumps? yes?
1362 liters = 359 GPH per pump.
Pumps...
Pump 1 - DCP-3500 will feed a Lifegard 3" x 55w UV @ 350GPH - ideal flow rate from what i have read.
Pump 2 - DCP-3500 will go straight to the DT. So flow rate can be what ever.
Pump (what size?) - in section one after but with (roller filter, with skimmer) to feed a manifold for reactor, ATS and refugium .. or more a copepod / life rock sanctuary.
So what size returns pipes??...... and RFG? or not? twin returns to 4 x RFG's?
Any good RFG's or waste of $$
No holes for return drilled yet....
Check valves??? - prefer not to...
