Liking my 4 way as well.

Take a look on OM's WaterPix forum, few over the top setups there.

I just picked up an OM 4 way from another user on here, and I love it. You can set up many flow patterns with the various drum version so you're limitless really on what you can do. It took me 4 months of waiting for one to come up for sale on here, but I did get a heck of a deal on it...it pays to wait a while if you're looking for a deal. I've also ordered parts from Paul & Cass, and their service is top notch

If all you have for your returns is 3/4" you could use a slightly less expensive super squirt however you will lose some flow if you do. If money is a real issue you may be able to pick either one up used if you advertise that you are looking and wait a little while.

Or send AllClearPG a PM. He has been trying to get people together to do a large order from Oceams Motions so that he can get a wholesalers account with them. I dont know what the price would be through him but it would be less than what is advertised on their site.

Ah sorry I got confused for a moment. Definitely find a 4-Way then so that you can use larger diameter plumbing.

Here is how I plumbed the return through the OM 4-Way on my 120gal. I was partially modeling it after this tank of the month: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-10/totm/index.php

That is ExACTLY what I had in mind.... Did you just leave the PVC fitting in the water or did you use loc line?
