Yeah that makes sense. I have two pretty overkill return pumps to choose from, so I will have to dial back the pressure to the main return anyways. The other manifold valves will be for the reactors and the waterfall line for sure, and possibly a UV and another fuge tank thats in the works. So it will need to have a lot of pressure in it.
I have a Mag 12 and a Mag 24 for this build, one will be used for the mixing station, and one will be used for the return. So I'm going to start by using the Mag 12 for the return to start, and if it's not enough, then I'll switch to the Mag 24. I think the 12 at 1200 GPH shouuld be more than enough. It's only rising about 4 ft to the tank. But at least I have the option.
Keep the picking coming tho! I want this build to be a good one.
