    Use 1 1/2" -2" returns , run the returns in parrellel and not in series , If ya use LAB and biosilica (silicone), theyll stabilise the water for ya and will allow much higher operating temps . and best of all prevent pythium(root fungus)

    Yeah buttercup ,that new design is exactly what i had in mind buddy .

    Just put a ball valve on every bucket feed line to balance flow and youll be set .

    Youll need bulkhead fittings for every pipe going in .
