New 180 build

Hello all,

I want to start by saying thanks for all of the help I have recieved over the last couple of years on here.

I am now upgrading AGAIN to a 180!!

My first of what will be many questions is can I use all 4 drains as my overflow and then plump returns over the back. If so what would the flow rate be, I understand the normal setup gives about 1200 gph.

About my equipment:

180 AGA(I think) dual overflows 72x24x24
euroreef cs-8 skimmer
prime chiller
2 250 watt metal halides (prob need one more)
2 72 inch vho super actinics
1 iwaki 100 *(thinking for externally plumbed closed loop
1 gen x 40 for return
3/4 inch sea swirl
aquacontroller 3
39 gallon diy sump
My idea is to plumb through a wall in the living room to my utility/sump room.

I want to add a refugium and auto top off and water change systems

Any ideas, links, etc and I will get some pics together to start the thread.

Thanks

Dave
