Here is my plan.... I might be making 2 of the fish tanks as fragging ones but i'm not sure... i'm looking for more info on that...
So there it goes.. Let me know what you think... This has become my new hobby...
The 120 gal salt water mix tank will have a reverse osmosis and 4 powerheads for circulation while salt is mixing, i would say about always 2 days(mixing Period) before water change. i have a pipe coming from the tank down to both sump.
each sump will have a drainning system.
all tanks will be drilled. The return pipes will be devided in half for water change. when ever i'm draining the system, all i would have to do is to unhook peice of the return pipes and open the drainage of my sumps
Ps: If you have any suggestions feel free to make few changes to help project

here is what i did i went to the site and downloaded the info on different pumps headheights

headheight is the distance from the pump to tthe top of the tank you are going to and you chose which pump by the gallons per hour turnover for the tank you are looking for
these are real specs for the type of pump i have i have model #18 now but with the flow i need in my 180 when i get it i will have to go with the model#24 because of the distance from my basement to the top of my new (well in the future new) tank


hope this helps anyone
and i hope im not breaking any rules by posting this pic if so SORRY!
