Ok need some input on running sump in basement
trying to get ideas for for the new tank setup 194 gallons current tank is 130 it will go the same place as old tank. going to have a inline pump as well as a pump going from the basement. I think I will have to go though the wall to the steps not the best looking but easy to fix latter. I am guessing I will need to add 4 more holes in the tank 2 more drains and 2 more outputs or can I use the currant setup up. using a y adapter or simular and if so I need 600-800gph from the sump to the tank about 6-7' from the tank to the sump what size pump should I use looking at the World-pan pumps either

Sounds like you have a big job ahead of you! I wish you the best. Brian is doing a similar thing as well (sump in the basement), so maybe you can check out his thread and see what feedback he's gotten so far as well to see if it will be of any help. I'm not at all familiar with the different external pumps, just what I hear here, but I'vbe heard that the panworlds are supposed to be pretty good. Here's a bump for you to see if we can get some more members to chime in:)
