I keep changing my mind and know thinking I want a sump and fuge on the new tank. Common problem here; cant fit sump through front door of stand. Ten gal tank(s) will fit but ones not enough.
Here is what I came up with and am wondering if there are potential problems with this configuration not ever having to do something like this before. I have built many sumps but never any thing like this.
Using one inch bulk heads drill holes directly across from each other to allow flow. Unions for attaching/unattaching tanks after they are placed in stand and possibly ballvalves here also.
Lower on the skimmer and possibly the fuge tank use and additional two bulk heads to provide for a gravity feed emptying of these to use for water changes. Hose can be attached here to direct water out door of house.
Plan to use a filter sock where water enters return tank to trap any micro bubbles able to make there way from fuge to return tank or could glue baffles in return tank. Probably will use a PH in fuge tank to keep water from flowing directly across surface from bulkhead to bulkhead.
