Hoping for some thoughts on this idea...
I have upgraded to a new CADE 2100 tank and I'm beginning the process of setting it up.
I would like to have a second macro/nps tank in a seperate room to act as a remote refugium for the new tank.
The difficulty in this is that two pumps will never pump the same volume. I was wondering if the diagram i have drawn would make it possible?
Basically the suction line on the pumps in each tank would only be submerged, say an inch or 2 below the surface. So that when one pumps more and drops the level it is limited to that volume of water until the other pump catches up. Its all being connected to apex so i will have LDK and optical sensors also. both circulating pumps would fallback to being off for any operations that change water level in the main display sump etc...
The only thing i can think of is possibility a siphon being created when the pumps are turned off as the pipework will run up a wall and through ceiling for both tanks.
I'd appreciate any input y'all might have on this project.
Cheers
