    Well I finally put the sump in the basement!
    The flex tubbing is all temporary. I am going to make a couple of manifolds to control flow to the fuge and the skimmer sumps. The fuge will be the middle one. Right now I just have one return going to the skimmer sump and the other goes in the bottom sump.

    I am also going to be plumbing my salt and ro water to it from my garage. I will have an ATO system and it will only hold about 25G so if a float sticks I wont kill everything. My tank evaporates 5g a day.

    Looking good. I need to come check out the new set-up now. How much water do you think your system holds now?
