Hello, I am getting ready to plumb my system but i wanted to get some feedback and let me know if there is anything else I should include/exclude. I will likely use the vinyl/clear tubing from return pump so that i do not restrict the flow with elbows.

I kept the plumbing simple as can be, any input is appreciated! I have not had water in it yet and eager to get started but taking it slow.

Skimmer - Reef Octopus Regal DC Skimmer 200 INT 400 Gallon

Return Pump - Sicce Syncra ADV 9.0

Lights - AI Hydra 32HD x3 + AI Single Arm Kit for Hydra 26/32HD Racks

Powerheads - MP40 x2

Heater - Eheim ThermoControl Heater e300 Watt

from the design it looks pretty simple and will do a good job.

Just wondering if you put in any manifolds or bypass valves for future equipment or customization?

That is where i am open for suggestions. I am sure at some point I will run a reactor, so I was considering a small manifold for future purposes. Gate valve on return line and besides that not much more that I can think of!

Yeah I would definitely include those two things.

I would also include unions at different points so just incase something ever happens you can easily remove a certain part of the plumping without cutting it or doing anything worse.

The blue lines are the returns coming up from the pump correct? That can be Teed way later, like you have your red lines. Is red meant to go the pump instead and the blues meant to be two drains, 1 regular and 1 e drain?
