Planning sump. I am hoping that i can fit a water change section in my sump for ease of changing the water and not to effect the level in my tank when i do a water change. Rough sketch. Hope to get full drawing at LFS next.

Will get to ordering the last of the piping I need this week. Sum will be ordered also which will give me 3 weeks to plan all the piping and install. Also have some rock from my Fluval which I took down so I am going to try and make some columns out of these for my scape. Also need to make a few cutout for fitting the radion mount and get measured up for the top to order a cover.

Well next thing to figure out now is the plumbing setup . I am going to go with Durso pipe in the overflow box and an emergency overflow also.
Undecided at to the setup for the return as i want to make sure i have a system in place for back syphon if pumps shut down.
