Help With Plumbing

[NYAUX]

Hello Everyone .just Wanted Some Help With Plumbing My 210 Gallon Tank. I Have A Merlin Pump With I Will Be Using For A Close Loop, Is It Also Possible To Use The Same Pump To Return The Water From The Sump? If So How Would I Go About Plumbing It.the Sump Is Not Drilled Aga Tank. I Will Be Using A Reeflife Overflow With To Outlets. One Will Go To The Fuge And The Other To The Sump.the Tank Is Reef Ready But For My Purpose I Wont Be Using Them For Overfows..but I Plan On Returning The Water From The Sump Through The Bottom. Any Ideas Will Be Great , Thanks Again

I Have Included A Pic Of My In 210 Room Divider Project

Sweet Setup man!! So clean. I could use a good clean fishroom Keep the closed loop separate from the return. You dont want any issues of the water siphoning out in case of a poweroutage and flooding your home.

There are plenty of talented plumbers on this site. Im sure they will post. Good luck with the tank dude.

Looks like a beautiful start to your new reef

If you use your closed loop pump as your return pump, you no longer have a closed loop. It will require two separate pumps to accomplish what your intent is.

Good luck on this project and keep the pix coming.
