The plumbing looks great. For the return pump I would of come straight up and out and not used the bulkhead hole. Purely to eliminate the 2 extra turns which reduce output since you’re running a manifold off of it and to keep removal simple for maintenance. But if the pump is oversized for tank and the manifold then you should be good.

Yes I went with a ecotech M2 so 2000GPH I’m thinking will work well. Both items on manifold run super low flow around 200gph so think I should be good.
I still have to add all the unions to make modular but once done it will be very easy to take apart hopefully

Still progressing

tank leak tested fix some minor leaks in plumbing. Installed media reactor heater and controller. Also test fitted the light mount with sky. Next week I’ll be adding a GHl Pro 4 to the system to start working on automation! 2 pumps 1 light left. Still waiting on rock sand and salt to arrive and we will begin

And we are up and running. Some fine tuning and a couple parts needs but over all the build is ready and doing well. Nano tank was transferred over with zero issues so far.
Thursday I’ll start putting together my actual scape with all Aquaforest rock and add more sand as well.
Got the Ghl Profulix connected and working happy so far!
