I'm trying to figure out the best way to plumb my first sump. I'd like to split the return between my main 40g tank and a smaller macroalgae 20g tank and be able to control the amount of flow to the 20g. The 20g will overflow into the display. (It'll be on a higher stand beside the main tank. All drainage to the sump will come from the main tank.)
I can add a sweep wye to the return line to split but what kind of valve do I put on the 20g return to control the flow? A gate valve? Or will a ball valve do to reduce cost?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
