Need help with tank plumbing (first time)

It would probably be more efficient to use a bigger return pump (300GPH+) to contribute to your flow rather than extra powerheads which will generate a lot of heat.

There won't be any frags or life in the sump for a long while, so I will just stick with this setup for the time being if you say it is good. I have an extra powerhead for the display tank.
