Thanks Tony. Seems like a small project compared to what you've got in the works.

Thanks Kev(again). Its been kinda slow going lately as I am in the process of moving at the end of the month. I've been sneaking away from my packing duties every once in a awhile to get my plumbing parts together. I think I've finally got what I need. I ordered a few things from B.C. because a buddy was making a huge plumbing order and said I could piggy back on his order to save shipping. I got the stuff from him last week and figured out right away that I needed to go back( again) to the plumbing store. I am still waiting on the gate valves from a different order(picking them up tomorrow). But I thought I would share what I did today. Here is what the stack of parts for the return look like.

Before.

After.

The return goes from the 1" output of the pump to a ball valve by 1" flexible tubing. Then is reduced to 3/4" hard pvc . First a check valve, then a "T", then a ball valve for each return, bulkheads and finally through the locline.

Looks great so far

I really like your sump set-up. So how quiet is your Quiet One and do you like it? Curious as I have a 6000 on order for my 120 build and not a 100% sure it was the right choice or not.

Seems quiet enough...I've only tested it in the bathtub so far.I just siliconed in the overflows last night, so I will leak test the overflows and the return system either tonight or tomorrow night.

Big updates. I moved last week and managed to get the tank ready so I could just move the contents of the 68g directly into the 110g. Its been running for a week now with NO glitches. The move went well and I didnt lose anything. Will post some pics of the rest of the build now and will post some of the tank with the livestock in it after I tweek a few things and clean the glass this w/e.
