Hey all, I am in the planning stages of my fish room with a plan to hook all of my tanks (and by all, I mean my current 75 gallon and any future tanks i purchase) to one sump. Currently, my 75 gallon is on the first floor of my house. The fish room is in the basement so i would be plumbing through the floor and then through a wall in the basement. Currently the plan is to have my 75 gallon drain into my future tanks because all future tanks would be in the basement. Then, these tanks would drain into the sump. I know for my return I would just return all water to the 75 gallon but I have no clue how to set up the plumbing so that I can add onto it with as little work as possible. Would I have the 75 drain into these tanks and then have these tanks drain right back into the same plumbing as the 75 gallon just further on down? Also, should I set it up with some valves so that when the time comes I can just attach some piping to those valves, open them and go? I am just worried about flow and stuff like that into the other tanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Haven't plumbed a sump before but I am excited to do so and for the challenges.
Also, the future planned tanks are a 30-40 gallon seahorse tank hopefully by december and then a larger 200+ gallon tank around may or june of next year. Both would be right underneath my current tank in the basement, just across the wall from my sump.
