I had to use the 2 1" outlets because they were drilled into my tank originally as returns in the center/back of the tank. When I changed the plumbing I used the 2 1" as intakes. The 1" pipes meet...

Yes I think you could use an MJ 900 or even a 1200 with out any problems. 2 Little Fishes comes with a valve so you can dial the MJ back if you need to.

Feeding the Sequence with 2 1" bulkeads should work, we are doing it with our Sequence. A single 1" is too restrictive for the Sequence. Good luck.
