I am looking to return around 1200gph from my sump to my tank and was wonder if instead of one 1200gph pump, can I use three 400gph pumps? The reason being is that i would like to keep the tank from any clutter. If i use three pumps for the return, i can place the returns in three different positions in the take. I can eliminate power heads in the tank. I was also thinking that if this works, i could attach a piece of pvc to the pump and have about 12" go into the tank strait down. I would but a cap on the end of the pvc. Then i would drill three holes, facing different directions and depth into the pvc. By doing this it would be like three power heads instead of one. If i do this with the three 400gph return pumps, it would be like 9 power heads in my tanks. I don't know if i will work and i am curious to what people think about it. WILL IT WORK?
