I picked up a ampmaster 3000 today to run my 125, but i have never set up a CL on such a large pump, and was looking for some advice. first what is the best way to run a 2" supply from the pump? along the top back of my stand and then having T's that go down to 3/4"? second is two 3/4" return lines enough or should i go with three? i'm looking to have enough pressure to make good use of enductors. and third, how do i attach such an powerful external pump to a glass tank? are there any precautions to stop noise, breakage or leakage down the road? fouth same for the pump, whats the best way to make it quiet and prevent spills, iv been told this pump can drip when the seals are wearing out or the housing needs replacing. should i bolt it to my stand?

*bump*
Anyone? is 3600 or 2600GPH too much for 2 2/3" return lines?
