    So im putting together my sump and should have it up and running tonight just trying to figure out where i should place a few things.. I made up a diagram below to show how i plan on having it set up.. feel free to point anything out or give any tips thats why i have this thread.. Also whats the best way to introduce the water from overflow to sump.. i know i can just have the tube sitting in that chamber.. but just seems like it would be loud..

    Use a reverse durso for overflow into sump...do a simple search here for details, we find those to be the "quietest" and produce the least amount of micro-bubbles.

    So basically its a sideways T shape pipe? the top part just gets capped off with a air hole? the bottom goes to tank and the side is inlet from overflow?
