Can anyone share photos or tips of how they plumbed in a frag tank to current display/sump. I am planning to add a frag tank with a separate pump in the sump and a drain line back to the sump. I am planning to put a very low flow pump then I will add a powerhead in the frag tank itself for water movement.

 

Any issues I should watch out for?

 

Thanks 

I did this once off my old 150, you might remember. It was easy to do bc my sump couldn’t fit under the stand, so it was plumbed off the side. I built a very rickety stand right over the sump and dropped the overflow and the return straight shot down. 
 

I’d just make sure that you don’t over flow your sump, trial both tanks pumps failing at the same time. 
 

There are a lot of folks way smarter than me (yourself included) that will hopefully chime in!

I have done this many times over the years. Really easy to do. Just put in a siphon break on the drain and not much will drain into your sump.
