Jason, I have a couple fuge questions for you. My basement setup will be similar to yours, minus the frag tank.

I'll be using the same tub for the sump, and my fuge tank will be elevated above it similar to yours. I see that you have flow diverted to your refugium from your main down line.

Can you give me more details about how your fuge is plumbed? I see it's drilled on the sump side, and has a hose dropping down into the sump. Is that hose the way the water gets from your fuge to your sump? How is it plumbed on the other side?

If it's not too much to ask, could you post a picture of your fuge as it is now?

Also, what size is the PVC you used for the main parts of the plumbing... the intake line and the return? My overflow on the display has a 3/4" intake and a 1" return; do I plumb the lengths to and from the basement with matching PVC sizes?
Thanks!
