wavy sea

[Holyreefer]

Hey guys im about to move and of course coming with me is my 210 tank.
ive been thinking about ways to improve my water flow so ive thought about this and need opinions.

My baracuda pump return is on 1 wavy sea right now.
ive been thinking about adding a split in the return and adding an addtional wavy sea. Each wavy sea can handle up to 3500gph and the pump pushes about 4500gph.
So i would add valves on both outlets to ensure i dont ruin the wavyseas.

Here where the real concern comes in at.
im concerned the overflows (1inch each side) my not be able to keep up with that fast of water movement so i thought to make my return lines plumb straight to my chiller in one way and out the other directly under the tank?

If you're not adding more gph, and your current overflows handle that total flow, then you're good to go because your wavy sea doesn't add more water to your tank. However, if you currently have to throttle back your return pump you will still need to do that even with another wavy sea connected. Routing your return different places won't make any difference because it's a factor of the overflow itself.
