20g sump build.

I was wondering if someone would give me their two cents on this sump i'm going to build for my new 55g. All the pvc is inch and a half. I don't have the gate valves drawn out but they are marked where i'm going to place them.

Looks fine to me.....

I agree... Only thing I was curious on is why do you have the return line "T" off to re-circulate some of the water back into the sump? Is this in the event your return pump is a bit too much for your overflow to handle so that you can divert some of the flow?

Krish: Yes I figured I would put just in case and if I don't need it I can cap it off.
