The ledges are magnetic frag racks so when I trim the corals I can mount them somewhere to grow and give to others.
Ya, your sand should definately be as clean as mine.. your Vortech is going to make sure of that with the floating reef.. I am betting you won't be able to turn up the vortech over 75% without sand blowing around. I just try and keep the flow right on the edge where you see just a few grains of sand getting blown around every once and a while.. then you know you have plenty of flow across the top of the sand to keep it clean.

yea they are on frags.
Ace the one Single loc line basically touches the PVC. i fully understand how to do this now but do you think there will be enough pressure in these pipes to literally jet water out? i made holes, not large at all but they are there.. ill post pictures tomorrow after class at 1ish. if my sand stays as clean as that this will just basically make me incredibly happy

That is the idea of the flow from the floating reef.. to NOT be jets.. you want a gentle flow.. but it is far easier to drill more holes than to have to go back and fill holes. So start with 5, and if that is too much flow, jets coming out the holes, then add more holes until it is just a gentle flow. You want just enough flow to keep things moving upwards.. not shooting out of the tank. Similar type of flow that you would give a phosban reactor if your familiar with those.
If the hose will fit snug on both sides then no reason to get the barb attachment.. Just can't picture in my head how a hose will meet up to a PVC T and make a good tight fit that won't fall off.
I WISH I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO GET THIS BALL ROLLING ALREADY! by thursday ill have my MP20 or 10 I CANT DECIDE. but then i have to wait until next next thursday possibly later for all the lr! UGH! i need to get these clowns out of this 14 gal they are starting to unlove eachother!
MP20 ftw. 
Seriously, however, I believe that it is a good fit for the tank, as the MP10 would be be borderline sufficient. You also have to keep in mind that the flow from these pumps is entirely different than what most are used to, as it is far more diffused.
