| Re: running 2 return pumps? w/ overflows Sure you can,If you have them use them.but I think i would be looking for more lights.3.2 watts per gallon seems a little soft. And with that bio load I would be looking for a real good skimmer. |

| Re: running 2 return pumps? w/ overflows I was reading your equipment list and didnt see a euro reef.And thats plenty of light.I dont think you need to do anything special for the plumbing because your just useing it the way it was intended. |
