Hello, my 35g reef ready came with this plumbing kit.

B0D7EA50-AE72-4A3C-BEF0-8CEDE97498B1.jpeg

I was planning on using a reducer in the return line, so the return size up to the bulkhead would be 1 - 1/4” then reduced into the bulkhead and the portion to the return locline would be the included 3/4” .

Id probably use the same 1 - 1/4” for the drain or 1” since the drain is put to a reducer at the bulkhead based on the image on the packaging.

Im estimating like 6-7 feet of head? (atleast 3 90° elbows, id say 2-3 vertical feet and maybe 1-2 feet horizontally of travel, plus whatever resistance valves

Do you guys think an ecotech vectra s2 would be sufficient flow?

and is this plumbing size ok or what do
you recommend?
 
Plenty of flow. I like running returns very slowly anyway, and you will want to throttle back the pump to 25% or so anyway.
