Hello all, I'm looking for some feedback on how best to setup the plumbing in my sump. I'm fairly new to all this so please go easy
Background...
Tank is a Red Sea Max E260 that is setup for under cabinet sump.
Sump is an IceCap 30 (I realize it's probably overkill for my tank but I got a great deal on it)
Picture shows bulk head connections with Red Sea plumbing kit dry fitted to see what I'm working with.
Initial thoughts...
The height of the sump is going to make connections challenging
Is it ok to introduce U's within PVC or flexible tubing?
Should I remove the Red Sea gate valve or can I just cut the tubing after the gate valve and run flexible or PVC over to the sump?
Not opposed to using flexible tubing to ease and simplify the hookups if best.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
