thats how all mine are, but i use 90s instead of 45s. deending on the depth 45s could cause a sand storm

How about you come finish some drywall in a 12x16' room project I've got going on for my tank, and I'll come do any plumbing or electrical you need done for yours?

Do you have any pictures or a description of how your sump is going to be laid out? If your return pump is going to be in the middle like this design, then go for it. I'd try changing a few of the 90's to 45's, and the drain is way too complicated.

Typically return pumps are on the left or right (not centered). I'd come up from the pump, true union ball valve, 45 out the back, 45 to return to vertical, wye up and toward the other end, then 90 over the tank wall, and locline for direction. Try drawing that out, and if you don't understand something (I get confusing sometimes) don't hesitate to ask. But I'll warn you, I'm not much on drawing.

Loc-Line is made and sold direct by Modular Hose
And both Marine Depot and Drs. Foster and Smith carry it.
