Hello Everyone:
I have been asked to help out a dear friend setup his office tank. We have some restrictions, but I am looking for some advice on how to setup the guts of the plumbing for the tank.
Current Equipment involves:
- Tank is a 120H with two corner overflows (60" L x 18" W x 26" H)
- Sump is a CPR AquaFuge MP with a 21 gallon capacity (refugium - 10 gallons)
Future Equipment (to be determined):
- Skimmer unsure if we are going to do an in sump or stand-alone model
- Pump we are looking to get an external return pump
The office has already been remodeled and no more construction will be able to be preformed. So we are restricted to the following cabinet dimensions:
External Dimensions: 62 3/4" L x 19" W x 36" H
Internal Dimensions: 55" L x 13" W x 31 1/2" H
The plumbing design I was thinking about was using both overflows with ball valves leading into one outlet to the sump. I was then going to use the CPR AquaFuge as the sump with dimensions of 30 1/2" L x 12" W x 14" H.
We will then use an external dry pump to return the water back up to the overflows. I was considering using with a T-split with one outlet leading to the overflows and the other leading to an external skimmer.
I am unsure of the best approach to take in order to setup a proper plumbing design. I am looking for suggestions for the best plumbing design.
Thanks in advance for your help.
