    Thanks everyone!! We will see how it works out once it run through it's cycle and I hook it up to tank. The sandbed was in 2005 marine reef magizine I had lying around. It feeds water in and one end than comes out on the far end to over flow back into the main sump. The one blue drum is going to be fed by part of the tank return and when I want to make a water change I close the valves drain it and mix up my salt water. When it is ready I just open the over flows back up. I will keep everyone updated on how it goes.

    That sump room must double your water volume! Awesome.
