Manifold question

[acolaojr]

I have two corner over flows in my 180 gallon tank. Was thinking of installing my manifold in between my two return lines with no cap. Just have my ball valves with barbs T off of my main supply line. Does anyone see any problems with that?

No problem, I would just make sure to have 2 ball valves on either end of the main line directly before the return line to the tank to regulate the flow. Otherwise you will likely end up with less water return to one side of the tank when the manifold is in use.

I always put a valve for each overflow so I can regulate flow and sound. The closer to the overflow the better and use unions so you can clean/replace it if it gets messed up.

Thats what I figured thanks for confirming.
