Looks like you're taking full advantage of the space and it's well thought out! My only concern is do you have enough water volume headroom in there if return lost power and back siphoned?

I made that mistake but it was an easy fix with locline for me

That was my only concern, if you want to double up your fail safe I would add a check valve as well in case the loc line starts leaking in water from the joints and you're not home to catch it.

I haven't used those but I think they're supposed to be the preferred style.... I've used this one in the past for many years with great success: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/spea...D=2681&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products
