Howdy folks,
In for my first real adventure here, had a false start a couple years ago, but over the last month or two I have gathered gear, some used and some new. I have a 75 Gallon tank used tank (clean) that was already drilled. I have researched for the last month and this is the plumbingI have come up with based on what I have, researched, how it’s already drilled, etc.. Please fact check me and provide any recommendations. Pictures are not for scale, but should give a good idea of fitting type.
Sump will be a DIY 20 gallon long, or I might splurge and buy a kit.

2x 1” Drain Lines
- Drain line bulkheads are on the back plate, they are 1” and at the same level as each other
- Main Drain Line will have a downward facing elbow and a Gate Valve on it
- Backup Drain Line will have an upward facing elbow and no valve on it
- Double Pump Setup for redundancy
- Pump will have a braided vinyl pipe to a barb fitting, from there a check valve to deal with the two-pump system. Will feed into a manifold system, pardon the scale and 3d on drawings.
- From the Manifold returns to the system with a 90* elbow off the 4-Way straight to the top with loc-line for aiming
