Sfin's Dream.

Yes that's what I understood. It looks like you have two main siphons converging into one, and two emergency drains left open with their own dump out lines.

I would have done it the other way around with the two mains opens and emergency tied together if you have Space crunch, but again, I don't see a reason it won't work.

I originally was planning that but only have room for one sock

Any thoughts on this?? Does anyone have thoughts on this??
I thought it was a great idea so there’s not 4 drain lines into the sump. I intend to copy his idea on a 180 since I don’t have a huge sump and would rather not have 4 drain lines.

Not exactly how I would have done it but should work, If I was to plumb it like that I would place the valve after the T as close to the sump as possible. Easier to access to tune, only one valve to deal with and bring the valve as close to the sump as possible will make it as quiet as possible

I have concerns about the air purging and an appropriate siphon being created fwiw...

Should only need what 6-800 GPH through the 1.5" pipe to clear it and it looks like a short length.

Mine hasn't Quite decided if it's happy yet in the new tank location. I moved it after two weeks of looking super p issed.

I haven't been able to get even close to the amount and glory it was opened before.
There's no real way to replicate the light and flow it was in, in this tank.
