125 Diary

This is my 125 diary. It is going to be a reef with a 55g dual sump and fuge. Octopus nw200 skimmer, pan world 100px-x pump, 2x koralia 4's, 8x 5' T-5's with 12 dimmable moon light led's. The sump has approximately 12 gallons sectioned off for the fuge. The plan is to be finished by the end of July.
Ok, so I have had the tank and stand for a while and am coming to the final stages of completion. I need some help with my plumbing. Due to the size of the sump, my plumbing will have to go at 90 degree angles. Right above the vertical ball valve, the pipe goes from 1" to 3/4 through a coupling/adapter, and will have to S-curve back towards the wall, t-off, and return. As you can see in the pictures, the return water on the right side of the tank will go straight up and into the main display, but the return water on the left will have to go 90 degrees to the left, and 90 degrees up before entering the main display. I have included pictures of the return plumbing i have done so far, with a picture of the plumbing as I have previously described right after it.

The pump is apx. 1270 gph. I finished my plumbing yesterday, and I will try to post some pics soon. I am worried about the pressure variance between the right and left return lines. Guess I will just have to wait and find out.
