60 gal will have its own sump as its temp has to be maintained at 75* for the seahorse's. The 30 gal will only have 2 lines, overflow & return.

But there still is 4 return pumps & 8 return lines to plumb yet.

You think tuning the drains be a PTA with being tied into common line. Would it be easier to have valves after the T where they tie in on the full siphon. Just a thought

Looks good though

I'm probably going to take out the tee's & replace with elbows once I have secured the lines with some custom brackets on the front 2 sets. The back is just the emergency drain that will remain fully open.

Actually I really enjoy doing this kind of plumbing, making it as clean & sleek as possible. The returns will be a little more of a challenge to get just right.
