I am trying to figure out the best route to go with situation. I have a sump that barely fits under my bow front stand...its the oceanic one and its full of LR and my big old skimmer ...phosban reactor hanging off it...so in other words no room for anything else.

I want to build a separate stand next to it out of Birch and have a compartment to hold a 10g Fuge.

My concern is how to get water to this 10g and my only safe solution is to get a second overflow box...but I only need something small.

I plan on having a mag1 return thats it...i dont need a big overflow since its only a fuge that i want offset to the side hidden...

I know i can search the web for a few things but maybe someone here has already built a fuge off to the side for the same reasons and has advise.

Thanks.

i wounder about that....

what happens if one pump for one overflow stops and the other does not?

could the sump that lost return power continue to drain>?

i would get a larger single overflow and tee off the drain of the already operating over flow
