Hey guys I am wondering is it possible to connect a jbj nano with my 55 gallon tank and sump?? would you guys connect them tank to tank or tank to sump or what are your ideas should i use two canister filters to connect them?? or what kind of pumps to use and piping? they would be about 4 feet away from each other.
 
Just to add to your consideration for connecting the pumps together is loss of power. With back-flow either from the tank or from the pipes would be something to consider a bigger sump and/or check-valves on the return line.
