Plumbing Help.

[PapaDragon]

I've finally got all the equipment I wanted and I think I'm ready to take over part of the garage. My current 150g tank shares a wall with the garage.

The laundry room is off limits so don't even ask. I'd like to run PVC through the wall behind the hot water heater and have everything that was under my stand in the garage where I can get to them easier. The only thing I'm not moving is the sump. Unfortunately I don't know anything about plumbing. So here is what I want to plumb together:

SRO-3000EXT Protein Skimmer
Reef Octopus BR110 Biopellet Reactor
The Deluxe BRS Carbon Reactor
The Deluxe BRS GFO Reactor
JBJ Arctica Chiller 1⁄3 HP

Pan World 100PX (Max Flow: 790 GPH)

I would also like to have a saltwater changing station and my BRS Dosers in the garage too. The plan is to have everything controlled by my Apex which will also be in the garage. Here is my crude idea:

Please help me I know this can't be right.

If you don't put the sump in the garage, you lose most of the advantage of the move. Put a 100 gal stock tank out there and you can do what ever you want.

No I don't think that will work the first problem I see is the return y is it connected there? How you plum all that is like this...
-if you have a overflow the water will run down into it, hook some pipe to it and stick it through the wall, then send it to all of that in one rectangle shape then pipe it all back and have it pumped through a tube which hangs in the tank. I have no clew how that return is supposed to return water to your tank if it is connected to the tank and the start of the system. You Gould have two pipes connected near the back of it like a rectangle that has an inlet and an outlet... It's easy plus this picture is hard to make sense of...

Wait don't listen to mine I see how it works now... And yes out the sump in the garage. It would get it out of the way. If you look at romanatwoodvlogs tank on YouTube his is similar to yours..

You really should move the sump too.

You really should move the sump too.

I was worried about heat and cold in the garage if I move the sump. Why are you all recommending this?

 

[Tank.Bro!]

Don't move it out of the garage!'n

 

[Tank.Bro!]

Honestly you don't need a sump you just need a fuge you have all the equipment a sump would need in your garage, set up a 29 gallon fuge and your good lol

The sump in garage might not be too bad.

 

[Tank.Bro!]

That's good!

 

[PapaDragon]

That's good!

Thanks. I think this should work. Can I cover my sump to make sure nothing contaminates the water?
