OK so far this is what i have done<br />
<br />
All the holes were drilled for 1 inch bulkheads, there are 7 in big tank 1 in sump tank.<br />
<br />
The big tank has 2 -1 inch drains in the overflow box I had made. I'm only looking to get 1000 gph to run the sump setup. The return pump will run to an upper and a lower bulkhead, where each one will split into 2 nozzles each, or that is what I was thinking?<br />
<br />
The other 3 bulkheads I wanted to run a closed loop system with one drain and then 2 to pump back in for flow. I was told a 2000 gph would work well, does that sound right?<br />
<br />
The bottom 2 bulkheads will be plumbed to the front of the tank and split into two with two directional nozzles each.<br />
<br />
Ok, so the sump will run in flow over to the protein skimmer area the over to the sand bed and then over to where I will be able to pump back out. i have it built for internal or external pump. all divider are a little lower then the other creating a cascade.<br />
<br />
Behind the sump on the stand I will be pounding out 2 large holes for plumbing and air to go into the other room where the tank will sit, I'm only looking at a 3 to 4 foot height difference from tank to tank. The canopy when made will be completely closed with a <br />
<br />
fan and duct work into my sump room which is a 10 by 15 ish feet concrete room and so far has been a good constant temp (obviously hasn't been too cold yet, but it was steady in the hot summer). <br />
<br />
my next step is to plumb the tank and run it into the other room and want to make sure that i don't forget to add something important! im adding unions and ball valves and a pin hole for a syphon break. im not to sure what to look for in the closed loop???<br />
