I need some help on how I should plumb this it is 20", 18" by 23.5" Tall. I am planning on having a 10 gal sump with a coarlife SS 65 in the sump. I am planning on having 250 watt MH's over it. I think I am going to use a Mag 3 as a return for it with a SCWD. However, I want to put a total of 4 returns back to the tank two high and two low on each side. Could I have a T split on each of the outputs from the SCWD. Also if I want to drill it and do an internal overflow for it do I have to buy acrylic and do it all myself? Or is there somewhere I can buy a pre-made center overflow for it? Thanks for your help guys! I would be a mess without you! Pics would also be awesome!! :rollface:

if you split it that many times and use a scwd you may want to consider a larger pump

I have a 37 g as well 24x18x18

IM going with a mag 7 for my return split into 2 or 3 returns at the top

This is kinda how mine looks. I've made a few changes to the return portion.
