    Hi 3Reef, I am moving into a new house in the next month and I plan to put my 90gal reef tank in the living room and would like to plumb the tank through the wall into the garage. I have seen a few post of members tanks where the sump was in a garage or closet and seems that maintance would be much easier. I am going to have a local glass shop dill my tank, but I would like a little insight on sizes for the drain and return lines. Also, if anyone had some pics of similar setup or links of a previous post that would be great. Thanks
    Rob

    I don't like referring to other forums, especially the one i am going to mention but the artice was amazing.
    Search Reef Central in the Large Reef Tanks section for the build by Reefmaiden and Sidewinder660. It was a few years ago but the system was awesome, thye had a huge display in the house with a sump, frag and growout tanks in the garage and a pad mounted chiller out side the house all plumbed together. I saw the system several times and it was definitely a sight to see.
