Hello everyone! It's Steve from Rotter Tube Reef on Youtube, Chicago! I have a 125 gallon reef aquarium and I need a larger sump. I currently have an eshopps R100. I can't fit a different sump under the tank without draining, lifting, etc. So, I decided to add a 20 gallon to this tank. I have done a lot of research. some people drill into the two and join with bulk heads. I dread cracking the glass. others have used the water bridge method. I am using a crazy method that few would be willing to try but I have balanced the flow perfectly. yes I know it's crazy. here are the results of my test. it's interesting. I think I will be having each return go to each sump. I will also have a return pump in each. I will tune the flow with the ball valves above. Currently I am connecting both sumps with a power head. IT WORKS! What would you do and what have you done?
