I was thinking I can have one master sump for both my tanks. Can someone help me plan this out? Is this a good idea or should it be separate sumps?
- the tank in the living room has been running for a few months or so (it's on a canister filter setup)
- I just picked up a 150 gallon tank (free) that I'm going to build a table for and setup; this will be a floor below in the basement
- I can easily locate a sump/refugium in an adjacent furnace room (in the basement also)
- I should be able to gravity feed both tanks, just have to make my table for the 150g. a bit taller than normal.
- Here's a quick drawing:

Is this a good idea (I think so) and what challenges/parts are needed?
- the head/length back to the small tank is roughly 30' and roughly 15' high/height - what sized pump would be needed?
- the head/length back to the big tank is roughly 30' also and roughly 5' high/height - what sized pump would be needed?
- or would I use one big pump and somehow divert the water to each tank?
