Please excuse the horrible drawing, but I'm planning to hard plumb my tank. The main reason being, the dorso drain is gurgling/flushing and I don't have room in my overflow to switch to a herbie. I also don't have a controllable return pump to lower the return rate (which I think it the heart of the issue) so I want to use a gate valve to dial it back.
I'd appreciate any obvious issues with my plan and/or any tips or tricks. I won't be able to get to Home Depot for a day or two still.
I want to keep that return PVC as high as possible to allow for working room in the sump. I'll need to play around with the clearance and exact placement of the gate valve when I get all the equipment. There is also a wood support beam in the middle of the stand that I can install a hanger to keep it in place and prevent it from sagging.
