Really? I emailed them and called. No response to my email and no call back.

Origami2547, in your 1st picture, why did you go with a flex pipe with for draining?? And you said draining is 1 1/2 inch, right. I'm going to buy piping this weekend. Thanks

Thanks...I placed an order with them.

Thanks. If this is not the appropriate place to post this request let me know. Thanks everyone.

How do you hold it in place when on top of the glass?

What have been the other alternatives that people do to prevent the critters from crawling over?

1. I have the Durso style that came with the tank 2. On the Ball/gate valves from my diagram where should I place them exactly or ideally? - Well I guess I can see from your pictures you posted. 3. On the 1-1/2 and 1-1/4 are you saying the drain should have greater flow than the return? 4. Will do on the submerged with the "L". 5. You did mention The upright sanitary tee in your 3rd picture, would I need that? As far as placing it in a garage, I already have a chiller from my 90 gallon so i will use that to maintain a constant temp. The garage stays very cool through the summer. Should I be concerned with exhaust from the car that is parked in the garage? Thanks for all the advice. I think I will go for a 55 to 75 tank as my sump/refugium. A glass company in Mananas said they can cut my baffles at $11 each.

So guys this is how a drew out my plumbing. Is there something I need to add, take out, recommendations in terms of flow, size of pipe, switch off valves, prevention of gurgling sound, type of pump, etc? The return to tank pipe might be at the most in length 10 ft give or take. I would lean toward less just to put them in perspective.

Ok, I have a question. Should I run my horizontal pipe from the two overflows to sump with one pipe or two and return with one pipe or two? I guess basically what i'm asking is can the piping to and from be all done with two pipes through the wall and is that the most efficient? From the picture you can see I will be running pipe to the right of the tank and through the wall. I think I will put two plants or some displays on each side of the tank to hide the pipe running across. 1. How low below the display tank before I elbow horizontally to the right through the wall? 2. Should the pipe be a a big slant downward toward the wall?

Thanks, I might have to take you up on that. What are the sizes of your piping and where do you strategically place your turn off valves and how many do you need?

Ok, so I just need to do is a lot of measuring and get the right plumbing. I'm still searching for a sump. I would like to keep it on a table but like you said it should be below the display so I guess it will sit on the garage floor.

Also I notice everyone using the rubbermade as a sump. How does that work with the use of a separate refugium. I'm used to people building or building a sump with baffles. Does this come out cheaper and easier?

I have a few questions. So in picture 3 you said the flow of the water is to the right in this picture. What is the distance of this flow to the sump?

I just bought the 125 this past weekend from someone and i'm migrating from a 90 gallon which had a hanging overflow. With my 90 gallon I had a small sump under the tank and found it very irritating and messy to work with and my stand for the 125 really doesn't allow me the ability to fit a large sump. As far as visiting anyone's house, no. I'm new here recommended by a member. I do need to stop by Blue Ribbon which isn't far from me. I'm still cleaning the tank and i'm migrating my 90 gallon from my ex-wifes house which is 90 miles away so I have to take things pretty slow and make sure that I get everything right before moving my fish and live rock over. My t5's are coming in the mail so I would like to get the plumping and sump ready to go.

I'm in manassas. Do you have a pic of your setup? I really want a sump I can work on freely managing a refugium in the garage with no mess where the tank is. So no pump would be needed? One friend suggested a smaller tank under my display tank than pump water from there to the sump in the garage but I cannot see that working if the tank is smaller than the sump in the garage.

I have a 125 gallon 6 foot long tank with two overflows, one on each corner. I would like to put my sump in the garage which is about 10 feet from the left overflow to the right of the tank throw a dividing wall to the garage. I don't think there is enough gravity to push the water that far horizontally, or is it? Are there any examples of this type of plumping? Is there a pump that can pump the overflow to my sump inside the garage? I don't want a sump under the tank and I want a large sump. I hope I explained this clearly, please let me know if I didn't. Thanks.
