Plumbing for a 210g DT with 80g sump (pictures)

This is my first SW tank and I have no idea about how to plumb it.:spin2:

The tank is an Aqueon drilled 210 and the stand is Aqueon classic mission.


The sump is an 80g custom with refugium.

The pump is a reeflo dart:
ReeFlo External Water Pump - Dart (3600GPH)

Protein skimmer is a vertex IN-280:
VERTEX AQUARISTIK

Here's some pictures of the set up:




The sump.


Should I have a T valve that flows water into the refugium area?


Any suggestions on how to plumb the tank would be great!

I just want to get it cycling and post pictures of it up and running!:lol2:

Thanks!

 

Anyone?

 

Sweet set up dude!

You're looking large. Now go get that animal running!

 

Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this tank.

I'm currently setting up my sump in the same fashion, it seems to be a very efficient use of space.

I have a 120 gallon aga with two overflows also. I also am having questions on setting up plumbing. I was thinking of going the Herbie method. If you check the thread, just search herbie setup. Just one idea you may like. I still am not sure but it looks and sounds like its the way to go.

 

Just plumb it with normal sch40 PVC. Just make sure to wash the pipes after gluing.

 

Are you using durso type drains in your overflow boxes. If so do you have alot of noise, gurgling, salt creep etc???

 

I have the standard J pipes that came with the AGA tank. Not loud at all and zero creep around the overflow compartments.
