So I went to a discount lfs and found a used 20 gallon long to make my sump.... and a mag 18 return pump to return flow back to my tank and to supply water to my reactors. Hope to start the plumbing this weekend and test fill the tank....

Looking great! What'd you pay for the mag 18? I like what you did with the reactors coming off the main line. Looks good
 
I got it for 80 bucks from a discount lfs here in phoenix.... thanks I am trying to use only the one pump....

Dang that's a good price! Did you test it! Do the reactors work like that? I'm curious about your design.
 
Yes I tried it and it worked good.... I still have to test fill it and check how it works.... I got the idea from Mr saltwater tank.... I seen one of his videos had plumbing like it.... so I hope so...

Ok.... so i am going to jump a head a bit here and ask for some input on rock work..... i kinda like the less is more look.... but i know there is a gallon to rock ratio.... but i was looking into doing to islands on each side middle of the tank so fish can swim around it..... and try to give more room for the fish to swim.... so i was thinking 50 lbs of rock in the tank is wheat i was going to use..... do you think that would work out or should i run 75 plus..... but I want it as open as I can get it....

That was meant to be one island on each side of the tank
