[Tonyscoots84]

ok guys.. 1st off i wanna thank everyone for such great help and guidance threw my last project the 20 gallon long sump..

next off is plumbing for a return... im going to cap off the drilled return for now in hopes of one day using as either a recirc. feed for my skimmer or for another overflow.. if i get a bigger internal pump ill use that as a sec. overflow...

anyways im going to replump the return line cause the sump is longer so im gonna need to do some new plumbing... anyways here is the pic i drew this is pretty much what i wanna do... remember it will be going over the top of the tank...
