Peninsula reef sump location?

[Marcus1212]

Getting ready to start plumbing up my new to me 360g peninsula reef. The tank is 8ft x 3ft, there are two sumps that will be plumbed together, both are under 4ft. Trying to decide if I should leave them where they are in the middle of the tank or move them to the very end of the peninsula for three sided access. The plumbing will all be pvc sch40. Thoughts and opinions?

I would move it towards the plumbing !

Where is the ATO reservoir going? Dosing containers? All electronics? Are you storing test kits or anything else under stand?

I have a 15g ato container that can go about anywhere, A large kalk reactor, I was going to start with kalk and then move to two part and use small buckets for the calcium and alk. I will probably hand dose mag. I have storage areas around the corner for all my other supplies. I was thinking it might be better for future proofing, to give myself more room towards the wall for a possible calcium reactor and ozone down the road. I use a apex controller, it will be against the wall on the left hand side of the tank.

I’d move the sump under the overflow and keep plumbing short and simple. Just make sure to plan where all electronics can reach and go

I think more access is always better.
