I’m in the process of setting up my 300 gallon tank (8’ long x 2’ wide x 29” high).

Since I plan on stocking some big SA cichlids, I want to run a sump with two returns as well as two additional fx6 filters for some extra polish.

I have an internal overflow in the center but I wanted to see what placement of my intakes/returns would be optimal. I plan on using spray bars for my fx6 outlets.

Here are some drawings of the two options I’m considering:IMG_6233.jpeg

Also open to other suggestions.
