sumpfugium placement

[aarone]

Where should i put my sumpfugium? Should it be above the tank and drain back with a sipon? or should it be beneath the tank and pump with two powerheads? i was thinking of using two maxijet 1200's. will this work well or will i have to worry about creating a siphon?

I call mine a sumpterfuge

 

[aarone]

lol i like that one. how big is your "sumpterfuge"?

It's 10 gal, but my display is only a 20.
The 20 will eventually become the fuge when I bring my 75 gal online. But, that's at least 6 months in the future.

I have a 10 gallon i just set up, for my 29. All i did was take a single piece of acrylic and drill four 1/4" holes in it to share water. the places a little more than half way to the middle in the tank. I siliconed it up and am awaiting my pumps right now.
What do you use for the plumbing? pics?

Mine is still under construction.
But basically it's a 10 gal with a divider pane with a comb cut out of it (Like on a overflow (but it looks like hell. )) and a return hole at the other end.
No pictures yet as it's still not completely assembled.
