After getting my self poisoned at the Jebao Unboxing thread i ordered a Jebao DCP6500.

This is my 60,24,24 with a 36,18,18 sump.

The current setup

Return from sump with a 1262 in 16/22 hoses and the Eheim Installation kit.
Which i feel there might be some bad headloss due to the hose size and the mutiple 90 degress bends.

Since with the new pump i will need to do plumbing again i was wondering if i should stick to the old system or redo it like this with 1" pipes?

From the above picture, the overflow location is pretty fixed at the side near a wall to hide from eyeballs so the tank looks "neater".

Hope to have some advice on where should the placement be. Thanks alot
