    The most popular sump setup recently has the PS at one end, fuge at the other with the return in the middle. You put a T on the bottom of the overflow and a ball valve on the side going to the fuge to adjust back the flow. This way your fuge gets some unskimmed nutrient rich water to work with for your macro and pods. Here is a pic of mine before it was hooked up to the DT.;)

    @SnooknRedz, Thanks bro! The tank cost 240$ at a local fish shop..

    @trijam, Thanks for the info! I sort of have the middle set up for the PS already, Maybe I can just pump the water from the fuge to the end chamber..I'm going to read up and figure something out..Thanks again!


    @SkyFire, Thanks!

    The PS will be here tuesday..



    Question: The PS is going in the middle chamber and the fuge is going to be in the first chamber, What size pump would I need to run to bring the water from the fuge to the third camber where the return pump is??
