Default over flow arangement

Steve,
They are 1.5" each. I have a little giant 4MDQXC but it's too much. I had fun playing with this, remove the screens, get more flow, remove the elbows, get lots of flow. Straight pipes with screens are good flow but loud. So I have a recirc line in my sump. with a 1/2" outlet. My returns are both 1" in to the tank, so I would have to guess I have 600-800 GPH going through these 2 lines. I would have liked more, but I'm stuck with this for now.

I could put a T on the top of each pipe and have more flow, but I don't have the extra screens. Plus a fitting doesn't exist for that, JL had to build the one they are using with the T.
