    I had to put 4x4's under my fuge to make it high enough so the outlet of fuge was highe than the rim of my sump so gravity can take place in draining the fuge.

    with your design you have it perfectly where gravity will be your friend and drain right into the sump since the outlet of your fuge is much higher than the rim of the sump.

    how did you pipe your fuge to your sump to reduce sound and bubbles. Like I'm planning to pipe it just above the water line. I think someone said something about piping it under the water line.

    Thank you
