Hey guys this is my first post. My goal is to plumb two nano reef AIO tanks to a common sump. I've attached a photo of the plan I have come up with. Im wanting to hear some feed back from anyone that has tried anything similar or is currently doing so successfully. I will be drilling the tanks for overflow with eshopps eclipse duel piped systems And maybe point me in the right direction as far as a solid DC pump to support this set up.
I'm relatively new to the hobby been running one nano reef successfully for about one year, and I'm completely new to the sump system set up. Let me know if you guys see anything I may be missing or over looking.
 
This is the photo of the plan and the tanks and sump planned to be used

one drain from each tank should be your emergency drain and go strait to you fuge or skimmer section. they should not be combined.
You should have a gate valve on the drain lines going to the sock area.
 
totally doable...,
but ask yourself.

if you’re willing to have two displays,
why not just keep the 2nd independent from the main?

gives you a safe harbor
incase anything comes up with the main
