I didn't want to hi-jack Jerry's other thread but wanted to get the opinion of people.
First off, completely disregard the scape in the picture. It's not scaped that way today.
This is a 125g, my overflow is on the left and I have two returns coming from a Mag 1800 (sump). I have a MP40 on the right set at 4. I get BBA on the the two pieces of wood and a bit on slow growing plants.
My CO2 PPM on charts and from testing is high (7.3ish to 6ish pH drop at 4.5kH) enough. My PAR for those wondering is currently around 60 at the substrate.

- How/Where would you point the two return lines? Looking for direction and height.
- Would you bother using the MP40? If so where would you put it?
- Would you make sure one of them is providing surface ripple? Or not worry about it since I have the overflow/sump.
