when it comes to plumbing, keep it simple. Ball valves and union fittings are a good idea, allows for easy change out of parts etc if need be. Some suggest check valves, I don't use them personally, just leave enough room in your sump for back flow if the power does go out and be sure to drill anti syphon holes in your return line (just below water level)....

Build is on hold now
 Got laid off due to lack of work, o well thats the trades for yah I get an EI vacation. Good news is after resealing the tank and testing it with 10gal of water today, no leaks! Probably add 10-15gal tomorrow to see if that holds as well and keep going till full before I drain the tank to wait for income again.

(bad cell phone pictures in here sorry!)
ok I need help with the sump/refug for this tank the stand is being a pain in my backside... Heres some pictures of the stand to get an idea of what I mean. The stand has a divider in the middle with very limited room for anything so I was looking at using maybe the EShoppe sump (model and size RS-75(18" x 10" x 16")) But then maybe we could do a dual sump? I just dont know... I was thinking of using the Eshopps sump, skimmer, overflow but I would like to have a place to grow cheato and have more LR/sand there... So here is a picture of the space I have... 14 deep MAX 26.5 high MAX 20 wide MAX but I figure to fit it all in I would need to lose at least an inch of all that maybe 2 so workable space is more like 12 deep 24 high (maybe less so I can include the plumbing easyer) 18 wide (to allow for door clearance) Eshopp Sump Size 18" x 10" x 16" Skimmer Diameter 3" height 19" Foot print 9" x 4" Overflow 6" x 3.25" x 10"
