I'm trying to tie 2 tanks (180g and 120g) on the first floor and 2 tanks (55g each) in the basement into a single sump (triton 44g). I have a lot of present unknowns. All help/ideas are welcome.
The 180 is presently active and will need to be cut over to the basement sump. It has 3x 1.5" overflow lines with a 3/4" return line split into 4x drilled bulkheads.
The 120 is empty with 2x 1.5" overflow lines and 1x 3/4" return
The 2x 55g basement tanks are meant to be frag tanks and in concept will be low boy breeder tanks connected with a single overflow
The 44g sump is presently behind the 180g in my garage
My big design problem is how best to capture all 7 overflow lines into the sump. I could make a large horizontal manifold of 3" or 2.5" reducing to 1.5" T's. I could possibly fit all 7 lines into the sump either as pvc or with conversions to vinyl. It is even sane to have all of these systems with ~410g share a 44g sump, or does the sump capacity need to be increased?
I've made a crude sketchup in the event it helps spark ideas.
