Then I can’t fit another pump in there, I’m trying to use 2 separate pumps.

I might have to look for a different sump
2 pumps are nice but not necessary if you plumb the manifold correctly off the main feed what size pump is that currently size and gph and what’s the footprint of that return section


I love plumbing I can definitely help you get this planned out

I bumped my head lol, since the baffles were siliconed in on the glass tank, I just cut them out and moved them over a few inches. Sure my fuge is smaller but I now can fit 2 pumps in the return chamber

All part of the dream plus I’m a gear junkie please check out my build thread
I’m back to picking your brain, I went ahead and bought a bigger sump and a second return pump.

So when I setting up the uv, I am going to be pulling water from the return chamber and the question is where to put the out feed from the uv?

I was thinking plumbing it into the return but I’m worried that the flow from the return will put back pressure on the uv
