Over the Thanksgiving holiday . I added another Rubbermaid trash can. and I rework whole system
   I installed chiller in two system. Disconnected thermal control tank for now .  my wife would kill me if I drill hole in the wall . instead I went to Home Depot bought the doggie door set up for me to drill instead. |

To your questions Steve I think I will have plenty flow.
The barracuda will be on the main return. One of the darts will pull double duty for the closed loop system and another part would be for protein skimmer feeds calcium reactor. The other dart pump will feeds the nozzles underneath the rocks. |

I was actually joking. I think you have way more than enough flow with all those pumps.
