New set up

Ok, so I ordered my new tank. it will be 72"x24"x30". I am looking for advice. The builder wants to install a closed loop at the back bottom of the tank to add flow at the bottom of the tank (intake on one side, return on the other). My initial concern is pipe failure. Is this a legitimate concern or arbitrary paranoia?

Update, I am 5 weeks in and things are going well. Starting to add corals and have 3 fish (2x yellow tangs and a coral beauty).
