Obviously u will have some sort of a valve going to the fuge I'm guessing?

Why waste flow from ur return pump for ur fuge? Just build ur sump so that the fuge is in between ur skimmer section and ur return area. The flow is already there. It's more efficient that way I would think

Yeah, there will be a valve on my fuge to regulate flow. This is how John designed the sump. He wanted me to run one of my drains to the fuge at 25% flow, but I think that might affect the bean animal setup so I just decided to T it off at the return to the fuge. I would have prefered to have the return to the far left and the fuge between the return and skimmer area, but it was already done and I didn't think about it before.

So while Chris is helping me with the return plumbing, I worked out a sketch for the drains...All per beananimal's instructions, except for the drain.

This is the closest thing I found online that I wanted to emulate...

That will work just fine the only thing to change it to use plugs instead of caps

I just got most of the plumbing parts yesterday. I'll start plumbing this weekend! Can't wait! I spent over $200 in plumbing parts alone. Yikes!

Yep. People don't think plumbing costs but to do it clean and right, it does

Well, the not so fun part is that I just tries the BRS schedule 80 bulkheads and they don't fit into my 2.5" holes. Aaron is checking if he has any other bulkheads I can use...
