Sorry for the crap drawing, but I could figure out how to best draw this on a computer.
I want to plum my system with a manifold and outlined the plan in the image. The manifold will have a ball valve on the end to close it and it can be opened to allow the sump to cycle water through itself in the event I want to clean it out. Let me know if I’m thinking about this right because the manifold ends have confused me a little on setups I’ve seen.
The 3 gate valves are there to future proof the setup. Right now there is nothing to add to it but I can use it to add a chiller, calcium reactor, UV sterilizer etc to the system later on.
This is for a 125G tank with 55G sump
