Well, I think you are going to see a lot of plumbing pipes from the back of the tank. You may need to add some ball valves to dial in the flow to each particular location.

The one drawback I see is a worst case scenario. Please be sure to install a ball valve above each pump, as well as on the intake side. I once had a Dart blow a seal, and when that happens water comes out of the impellar shroud near the ceramic seal. If yours were to do the same, it would be very important to close both valves to prevent the tank from draining to the lowest point.

This is always the danger of a closed loop, so planning accordingly is a natural response. Don't be scared of it, just anticipate that type of risk. Any fitting can crack or burst, period.

Thanks Marc. I will need some ball valves for sure. I am going to try and cover the plumbing with my aquascape. I am also going to do something different with plumbing the frag tank.
