I would make them 2 single systems. Don't want the possibility of one going out of whack and taking the second with it.

Just make sure you get it out of the tank fast. They release toxins into the water that are harmful to the other critters. :death: Sorry to hear about your loss. Just make sure you don't use tap water any more. At 30 cents a gallon at walmart you can't go wrong for RO water. Also most LFS...

Nice !!!!

I haven't seen a PM come through

Looking real good!!

Man I love this. DIY is the only way to go!!

Go here. HOW TO: DIY Overflow - YouTube

On my sump/fuge I actually have a piece of filter that goes around my pipe that stops the water from splashing. The overflow box I bought came with an extra one that is round and hollow to fit around pipe. It works very well. When I get back to my house on Monday I will post a picture of it.

I don't know if it is possible on the "water in" side but it could back flow if power goes out on the return pump. I know from experience if you don't have a trap of some kind on the return pump to the tank or the pipe is not out of the water, it will back flow on the return side. Better safe...

Thanks man, I will go check it out. Was looking at some on BRS's website. I need to get one really bad. I am just using the siphon method with a valve for on and off. it sucks and doesn't keep my water perimeters constanent.

That would be awesome if he painted the wall behind the tank blue!!

Won't need the valve on the outlet for the sump. He is controlling the flow with the valve coming to the "T" and with one going to the fuge. However, you will want to make sure that your pipe stays above the water line of the fuge / sump.
