Sump planning

Reefermatt3 · 12/10/2015, 08:47 AM

In my sump I want to have a fugue section but I'm not sure if I should put it I. The middle of the sump of have the return in the middle with the fugue on the side so I can restrict the flow. What do you think will work best?

I have my return in the middle and the fuge on the end with restricted flow. Has worked well for years. Mine is plumbed to another room though, so not sure what the under tank people would say...

My fuge is on one side with the return in the middle. I have a piece of plastic canvas along the inside top edge of the fuge'a baffle to prevent anything from coming over. Flow is from a tee off the return controlled by a ball valve. Works great and if I had to build a new sump I'd set it up this way again.

thanks big help, I feel as if restricting flow will help so everything isn't pushed around so much.

Thanks for the opinion this is probably what I'll go with
