I would be particularly worried about the siphon back to the sump personally. The slightest clog and that top siphon keeps going and now you have a spill. I would also make sure you have a siphon break not too far below the level of your top tank so you don't drain everything back down to it in a power outage.

My personal opinion would be to make the fuge gravity feed into the sump by putting a bulkhead in the side of it... like probably a 1.5" bulkhead or something along those lines. That way you're not trying to balance 2 siphons which will ultimately without a doubt go out of sync.

That's what I'm afraid of. I put a syphon break on both tubes so hopefully if the above mentioned happens I'll have a 5 gallon tank filled without stagnant water instead of a floor filled with water. Bottom line is I need a new sump. Thanks for the opinion I'm gonna disconnect the whole thing and save some money hahahahha.

the fuge for my 75 is a cheap... 29 gallon aquarium and some picture frame baffles cut to size by lowes... The thin glass means you have to take care around it with equipment, but it was like $5 for the baffles and a used 29g tank.. (can normally get for like $20) I have all the equipment in there and everything... Here's a link to mine. http://www.reefaddicts.com/album.php...achmentid=3938

Ideally a fuge should be returned to the tank by gravity as a pump can kill some of the stuff you are trying to return to the tank. Running it to the sump just make sure your not running it to where the skimmer can pick it up. Dont skip a fuge if you can make it work they add alot of goods the the tank

I think I'm gonna do a bigger one. Dread 240s setup looks awsome. I'm gonna have to move my sump a bit or work something out on anstand bit the 5 gallon is too precarious. I'm starting to get red string algae and because I live in ri and we've been assaulted by snow thisnweek I can't go out and get snails or crabs or a scooter to take care of it.
