Also I don't think fan noise will be a prob? They're low CFM.

Just a quick question,

Do you guys think my system is geared for high flow?
And would I benifit from higher PSI instead (Pumps pumping together with Y connectors)?
Maybe I should be using Y connectors?

Does anyone have first hand experience using 3/8" / 2 block / 2 pump systems or similar?
The 'y' connectors would put your pumps in parallel, and allow for theoretically higher flow (assuming the pumps can generate enough pressure to allow for that increase).
Putting the pumps in series will increase the system's pressure capability to overcome restrictions in your loop and allow them to better approach their theoretical maximum flowrate.
