Next I thought I would keep the fuge and sump basically level with each other and connect them at the bottom with 2" bulkheads. Only problem here, is controlling flow between them and making sure the fuge is flowing into the sump properly.
Any help would be great because Im just sitting here staring at it with no idea right now how to proceed. I was hoping to finish the plumbing today.  |
This works...Even if the fuge and sump are very similar heights, it is the difference in the water levels that powers the flow. For simplicity I have not drawn any baffles in the fuge. Without baffles, algae would get sucked out of the fuge. I'm sure you've got that part covered.
