I need help deciding which return and closed loop set up I should do-

The 3/4" locline & four- 3/4" locline are already in my possession along with two 1" strainers-

The display tank will be a standard 29g glass tank- and there will be an overflow box in the center-

Plan B seems like a better choice for a few reasons.

One: you do not want alot of flow through your filter/sump or whatever.

Two: Less plubing this way.

The only thing I would revise would be the placement or the returns on the CL. The two corners are fine but I would place the other two alittle lower so you can hide them easier and they will blow through the rocks. (To prevent Detritus build up)

Are you going to use a glass over flow box or a 90degree elbow or a u-tube?

I see your point- as far as the overflow- I have some Ideas but nothing for sure yet- its definitely going to be a drilled overflow- not a weir or HOB overflow-
