Flow setup

ok so i have built my sump, 300 gph will be flowing through it and the same back to the tank. I will also be doing a closed loop after this project is done. I figured another 300 gph pump would be good. (30 gallon tank) My question is, what would be a good setup for the the return line and the closed loop? I mean as far as positioning for outlets and how many outlets on each? I would like to eliminate my power heads with this.

Return is generally done on the opposite side as the overflow. For a closed loop I would shoot for prob a 600gal/hr or larger and 4 to 6 outputs. 6/600 will be 100gal/hr out of each nozzle.

I ordered an SCWD wavemaker for that set up. Would you still recommend the same amount of output with that setup?
