One pump or two?

I havenâ€™t decided on doing a separate closed loop or just going with a larger return pump. (I have an Iwaki MD-100 RLT lying around but it makes a lot of noise) I have used several T4s call them what you like (blue line, Poseidon, silent seas) I call them silent @ 30db! A sequence dart would give about the same flow as 2 T4s at about twice the noise 50db.

Either way I was thinking of doing a Calfo type of manifold. I just got a pile of Lock line for the returns. I havenâ€™t decided if Iâ€™m going to drill the Euro brace or just run them over the edge. I donâ€™t want to see all those lines in the tank. The hood comes down 1â€ below the top of the tank or just below the waterline.
