plumbing?!?!

[Melonbob]

I need help plumbing my 180. I have two 1.5 overflows going out the back bottom. Do I just run these straight down into one end of my sump, or run one to my skimmer half and one to my fuge? Do they connect down there? What about the return? Do I just run a line straight up and then tee it off into a few directions? I am not drilling any holes in my tank, that scares the crap out of me, so no closed loop. I'm so lost, everyone has a completely different setup from the last guy!

I'd run both drains down to the sump,seperate.That way if one plugs up,the other should keep from draining the sump.
On the returns,I'd probably just tee it once and have 2 return pipes feeding back into the tank.

Mel I came across this design for while thinking about your decision on closed loop or not. Check it out.

Biff if its an inappropriate link Ill modify it to suite.
