Hello !

I am looking to hire someone to walk me through setting up a sump which is connected to a display tank as well as a frag tank. Please let me know prices and if possible show pictures of sumps you have put together.

Here is the equipment i have planned so far :
Triton 44 v2 sump
syncra adv 9.0 water pump
lopro external overflow box (2400gph)

plumbing can be all pvc or mix of pvc and braided. I would like it to be as safe (check vales) and user friendly (gate vales, unions etc) as possible

Now theoretically i would want the tubing from the return to split 3 ways - 2 to display 240G and 1 to 60 G frag tank

Here is the below list of what i think i need hardware wise for the return but I am really struggling with keeping this straight (pipe sizes and diameters and switching from flex to pvc) and this is just the return - i havent even looked at the overflow to the tank.

There are no local aquarium setup companies that I can turn to and I am returning to school in September so I need to upgrade and streamline my tanks STAT .

I can follow direction - you tell me what i need and walk me through assembly and setup.

i have all the tools here just lack the intellectual plumbing know how

Any luck?

no nothing yet .

It’s the most complicated system I’ve ever attempted and has the potential for a lot of water spilled - plumbing and working out head pressure with elbows vs t fittings is not my forte.

I also need something with a lot of redundancy due to the anemones (apparently they really like to clog up overflows)
