I fixed your img links for you .. hope that's OK.

That's an interesting manifold being so high like that. Any plans on how to remove the air buildup in there or just let the flow blast it out? Anytime your return pump is shutdown you're going to have a massive barf of air bubbles at startup.

should not be any air bubbles when return pump is on and if I shut the pump down I have a main ball valve on each manifold so before I turn the pump off i will just turn the valve and no water will drain back into the tank. Reason why i did it this way is because I want full control over each return eductor, only way I could fit valves in without being in the way. They will all be covered with a cabinet anyways.

I will be using 2 Waveline 10000 DC pumps so we will see what happens, my friends tank is the exact same design and is one of the nicest I have seen for a soft coral tank. PS thanks for fixing the pics not sure why photobucket wont work?

Looks fantastic! With the high piles your sps will make some nice swim thrus underneath. Are all t5 bulbs consistent in their output per foot or do you find one of your fixtures brighter than the other?
