Well the two tanks are at the same height but they drilled holes in both for the connection and the hole in the fuge is slightly higher than the hole in the sump. Perhaps not high enough though. They did use flexible tubing for that connection so we could try raising it up a couple of inches. Sounds like it is worth a try anyway. We would just have drain it and add something underneath to raise it up. I may try that tonight or this weekend at the latest. I will let you know if it works.
Oh and you'll have to wait on the babies. Right now I just have the one male. I have my lfs owner in search of a girlfriend for him. If I get and manage to successfully raise babies you are #1 on the list.
You may have to get a chiller though. Ponies like cooler water. In fact they are the reason we just bought ours. Thanks for the easy idea. Nothing lost if it doesn't work and easy to try. I like those kind of suggestions.
