    Added dedicated fuge

    Using some scrap wood, PVC, and a spare sump form an old tank I managed to come up with a way add a fuge to gravity feed into the sump while still being able to cram all my goodies under the stand (was not easy).

    For the intake I used the 'T' method to provide water to both the sump and the fuge. I have a ball valve placed on both sides of the T to control flow and a drilled a 2in hole in the fuge that would be the outlet feeding into the sump. I didnt want to drill both sumps and i also did not have an inch to spare that would allow me to connect both sumps together with PVC so i just positioned the outlet hole of the fuge so that it would be higher than the lip of the main sump.

    here are some pics. couldnt mange to get a pic of the whole setup, sry. leak free, and noise free... the sump not the pics :p

    last ones i swear.
    Air intake on skimmer had to be tweaked when i placed it in the sump. it was operating outside of sump b4 the fuge add so it needs to get use to the water level i guess.
