Ocean's Motion Help.

[dcombs44]

I'm considering to try and rig up an ocean's motion on my new 55 gallon. I would of course go with the squirt model for smaller tanks and pumps. I have a magdrive 7 that I have in my overflow running up over the top of the tank to a return in the opposite corner. Is there some way I could replumb the mag7 to make the OM properly function. Here are some pics of my setup. (Additional pics shown if you click my red house at the top.)

The pump is in the overflow here (not shown). You can see the pvc that is now connected to the pump.

Here is a look at the plumbing from the back.

A look from the front. The returns on the right are from the sump, the left are from the pump in the overflow.

I've got oceanmotion's 4 way valve with 4 squirts still in the box. My 90 gallon construction project should take off some times next month. I will be using a 1400gpm pump(about 40ft head pressure) pushing from the basement to main floor living room. Two valves on the 4 way will be plumbed to two outlets, each, shooting through rotating squirts. The other two will shoot through a single standard pvc outlet against the back wall to dissipitate the force of the water pump. In the center of the tank on the top , where the overflow box located, there will be a single Tunze pump with controller shooting towards the front.
