120 Reef Ready

[scout]

Looking at getting a 120 reef ready tank for a mixed reef(ie including sps). How important would it be to get two sets of holes drilled in the bottom of the tank? Is the plumbing significantly more difficult? Would I be better off to run it off one pump or two with two returns? Basically, what are the advantages/disadvantages and should I go with two returns or is one plenty good enough? Thanks.

It is nice in that size tank to have as much water circulating through your filters as possible. Run one pump with a 't' junction to 'return' water to two different places and two drain lines to your sump.

Al,
Thanks for the input. Is there any downside to have the two returns?
