Hi Kent, yes, the two 3" BDs are going to be direct suction to the pumps and then on to each Nexus unit. There won't be any vortex/settlement chambers before the Nexi. Do you think that this will be okay, or do you see any faults/problems with this set-up?
Unfortunately, the two no niche skimmers are already plumbed 1.5" through the pond wall, so there's really not much that I can do at this point.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do with these two no niche skimmers. Your input is much appreciated.
