So is the sump half full? About 40 gallons in the sump?? See the above post for the flow rates I calculated for you.

the overflows are in each corner. I have the stockman setup. and yes the sump is just over half full. Those flow rates were for the dc9000?
I just double checked and it looks like I have 3/4" return lines. Does that change the flowrate?

I have a DCS9000 plumbed into a single 1" return... it does come with an adapter for 3/4" but I wouldn't go with a single 3/4"... I only run mine at 60%
