Thanks Cos, This will be my weekend project coming up. I will run a test set-up with my 900gph Ocean Runner, (it is my back-up for the main sump pump) I'm looking at running the plumbing under the stand, all the way up, which is about 60" off the floor. I'm thinking of using two 90's off the pump then 45's creating offsets until I get to the back of the tank, then I'll need to 45 to the right & up to the top, I know this sounds crazy. My tank is close to the wall & limited by where I can put the pump. I might do something really crazy like add a sheet of plywood to the top section of the stand & mount the pump upside down above the sump, this would cut about 30" of Vertical height. I don't know yet, as my space underneath has a 30g sump on one side & wiring/storage on the other, which can be converted space for CA reactor one day. However I do it, seems like it will take a series of 45's & 90's to get the plumbing up and over to one side. Once I get it plumbed, then I can get an idea how much pump I'll need to make it all worth while. I hope I can get a pump that is as quite as the rest & still produce about 1,200gph at pump before head pressure, which I'm guessing will be reduced to about 900gph maybe. I'm also thinking of putting it on a timer, to run only during the lighting period. I'm guessing I may waste some pvc but will try & make it as simple as possible.
