Well I have tomorrow off also due to weather and need a project so I may tackle an UGJ system. I have a 75 that uses Flourite as substrate large driftwood in the center and a few rocks that go to the glass. I will include a few pictures. How many jets should I use 5-6? I will probably have to get a bigger return pump and setup a system that goes from my spraybar to a ball valve to the jets as I'm out of room in my sump for more pumps any suggestions? I don't really want anymore stuff in the tank if need be. Also flourite is pretty light weight and gets picked up fairly easily. Look for any suggestions and insight. Thanks in advance!

Looking for some advice on the pump for my upcoming UGJ system. I'm planning on 7-8 jets as shown in the crappy paint job with flow in the general arrow direction. I need a pump that would be sufficent for the UGJ plus my spray bar on the top. My overflow is 1 1/4" PVC. I will be plumbing a tee from the pump to control flow between the UV to spray bar and to the UGJ. I don't want the fish being blown around just a little soemthing to keep the tank cleaner on the bottom. Thanks in advance.

Well I'm down to a few choices:

Queit One 4000 1057 GPH
Quiet One 6000 1500 GPH (Too much for my Overflow I'm sure need to check flow charts yet though)
Mag Drive 12 1200 GPH
