hello all!
ive been on a different board and not getting much help i hope that i can get some more help i was donated a 70 gal tank 36x18x24 and need help!! the tank was drilled for a closed loop system in the bottom and has a small little giant pump and a ocean clear mech. filter. the drain and the return are both on the floor. i was told that this setup is not the best for a reef systemso i want to remove this. so im trying to decide what the next steps are to use a fuge system. i want to plug the suction and maybee leave the return. or if it is better to plug both and just run a return to the top. i want to build the fuge and i have a lifereef overflow box(600 gph). in the picture the top of it shows the current layout and the bottom is the proposed setup i dont know what pump i should use for the return the. return line is only about 2 feet of over head. i also have a remora 1200 skimmer for the fuge. any and all advice is welcome please give input.

Sweet, looks good. It seems like you got it planned out pretty good. Are you just going to have one return? In my opinion it is in a very unusually part of the tank make it so the rock work has to go around it or it is free standing. What are you planning on keeping in it? The different things you want to keep can make a difference on how you wan't/should set it up.
