Default Redoing plumbing on 160 with corner overflows

I will be moving in a month and sticking my tank in the main living room so I need to quite down my plumbing. What's the best plumbing method. Right now I have a return and Durso in each overflow. I'm thinking it's 1 and 3/4 but will need to check. Right now I have the left going all the way to the right with 2 90s and the right one goes straight down. I'm not opposed to a new sump either. Right now it's a 55 gallon. With a bubble trap in the middle. Used to have a 20 gallon refuge but the glass cracked and it took 3 tanks to get the hole Drilled so I won't be redrilking another one

Herbie can be dead silent if set properly with an AC return pump. DC pumps are not ideal.

The way the house is I could auctally even move my sump into the 4ft crawl space or try to move it into the boiler room or garage. Only problem might have is getting the drain line higher then the sump lol
