New Tank Idea again



here is the new set up i need your help on the closed loop part. MRC said they could put the over flow in the middle. all the plumbing will be in the middle in the over flow box. this is a front view

the red is live rock which corals will be attached to (duh i know)

the blue will be the returns from the sump 1" each they will be on both sides

the green is coming from the closed loop and they both will be 1.5"

now here is where the question comes in the yellow is going to be on the closed loop too but i don't know if thats where it should be. should i put it lower or higher, what? the closed loop will be run by a reeflo dart 3600gph and will be on a oceans motions 4-way osicallating device.

the tank will be at MINIMUM 72x24x24

I think it would be better down about mid-way from where its at now.JMO
Get some flow down along the bottom of the rock.

It'll just help keep gunk from building up behind your rock work.
