    outside the sump just run a siphon line from the tank to the coil then a drip line with a valve at the end dripping into the sump 1-3 drips a second untill the nitrites are at 0 then 5-7 drips a second from there on out.

    the hose is attached to the top part in my hand (the inlet) and just ends at the bottom of the pvc then the water flows up the pvc through the bio balls ( which I don't have in yet) to the out let on the side of the pvc to a drip line to the sump make sence?
