Important Question

[hnf2k]

this is probably gonna be a stupid question, but here it goes...i just setup my sump/fuge. for my return im using a mag drive 5 pump connected to some tubing. with what/how would you mount the tubing onto my tank as my return so that it wont god forbid fall off the tank and pump water all over my floor?

You could use PVC and build a sort of "J" shaped fixture that would hang on the tank and connect the tube to that. Plus there are sources for pre-made returns. I have three of them...but can't remember where they came from...below is a pic of them.

There are a few sites that explain the sump indepth, they are extremely interesting, i think the physics of water is 75% of the reason i'm getting into this hobby. But if you search around you can find some great information about the way things work. then you'll be answering other peoples questions :joy:

my sump is setup, i got that part down. i just need to setup my return line a little better. right now if i lost power there'd be a nice flood.
