Closed Loop for a 55gal

[Al Hobby]

I am planning a closed loop for a 55gal. I want to use an extra Iwaki WMD30RLXT pump I have. It is rated at about 1000 gph at 0 ft. head. The output will be through a pvc system with about 20 one inch outlets mostly behind the rock structure.

Will this be too much circulation for this size tank. I am planning on keeping soft corals and SPS. More outlets will be concentrated in the parts of the tank that will have the SPS.

Any input will be helpful.

If I where you, I would place a quick union on both the intake and return connecters of the pump and on the other side of each quick union install a ball valve.. Reason for this, just close both valves and the pump can easily be removed for cleaning with almost no water on the floor. Plus, you can use one of those ball valves to control the water flow if it is to high with the valve wide open.

I am using a Sen900 with the return seperated into two lines being feed to my 60 gal.
