Sorry, I probably shouldn't reply to a thread when my answer really can be boiled down to "DUH, I actually don't know, DUH" but I thought I'd throw my two bits in.

Tank build looks great. Can't wait to see the results of your drain idea.. Why not just try it dry fit for now (yeah, the joins will leak a tiny bit but it would be enough to tell you if your idea is workable or not.. ??)
Yeah I am going to dry fit first but I was hoping to just kind of find someone who had done this. I remember seeing someone on RC had done this to keep the water emptying into the sump quieter. I just don't remember how it worked exactly.

I think I will just try everything without the T first and then see if I even need it.
