One thing to keep in mind and test well is what will happen if power cuts out. Water will drop to lowest points in each tank/sump

I've currently got about a 4 inch head on my 35 gallon sump at outage. My hope is that I can have about a 2 inch "tidal" zone at the top to account for various speed up and slow downs with flow in the new fuge and still have about a 2.5 inch buffer on outage, but it is all scary lolOne thing to keep in mind and test well is what will happen if power cuts out.

A 1.5 inch slip version of that is exactly what I need! Where do you get stuff like that lol was just going to make my own with pvc and a circular saw lolNo need to silicone. Use proper bulkheads or a Uniseal. Set up a float switch or optical sensor to shut off the pump. Also can use an Apex leak detector at base of fuge. You can use a shorter one of these on each drain in the fuge. More surface area so less likely to clog.

Appreciate all the feedback. It's nice that everyone has been so helpful and encouraging. I get really nervous about this stuff, so it really helpsWith your setup both the dt and the add tank will dump into the sump. Just do some maths to calculate how much it can absorb. There's an equation to determine water per inch based on dimensions but I cannot seem to find it atm

Hey I found that equationWith your setup both the dt and the add tank will dump into the sump. Just do some maths to calculate how much it can absorb. There's an equation to determine water per inch based on dimensions but I cannot seem to find it atm sorry
Thanks! Buying the last bit of plumbing to get it to the sump then need to mount everythingGreat job! Hole looks clean. I like the diy floating overflow too; good idea.

Nevermind. I should have finished reading the thread...I got them from Richard Durso's site.
Intake Strainer
These are used to "strain" the water entering the Durso Standpipe to keep large objects out (like snails) which might accidentally enter the standpipe and reduce or stop the water from flowing down to the sump. 1.25 inch strainers are designed to slide into a standard 1.25 inch fitting (such as...shop.dursostandpipes.com
