Awesome thanks for the info !You want the water level in those overflow boxes 1-2 inches beliw the weirs. Otherwise it will dound like a sloshing waterfall. You can order the pipes from Richard’s site.

I know the sump is a ruby, the plumbing makes a u shape in those overflows and pulls it from the return pump. Im not the best at explaining, Ill get a picture tomorrow
Personally I’m all about buying a premade sump. To me much less hassle. Just figure out where key pieces will go and stuff. Like filter socks vs fleece roller, skimmer vs charro, etc
Would it be possible / recommended to do it this way ? Durso drain pipe and emergency drain pipe in overflow #1 and a Durso pipe and return pipe in over flow #2 - WITH a second return line ran from from return line underneath tank over the back of overflow #1 . Wld this be the closest I cld get to a bean animal with just 2 drilled holes per overflow ?You want the water level in those overflow boxes 1-2 inches beliw the weirs.

Yea after looking at prices of a baffle kit plus cost of used tank I will be close to cost of premade sump .
Not necessary imo. Have been running dual dursos in this tank since 1999 with no issues. Look at the length of the two strainers. They both would have to be significantly blocked to have an issue.
Yea no **** I don’t know what I was thinking when I was gonna use one drain for durso pipe and an emergency drain next to it and a durso/ return in other. Then have to run another return over the back! Our tanks have dual overflows thus if you have a second return in other overflow YOU have an emergency drain. I’ll use the 3/4 “ to run returns. Other guy was right this doesn’t have to be complicated. Thx for input man
I love my Trigger Saphire. It’s the CR44 or something like that.
That’s a bad biach! Love it man looks great. I looked them up and seems like yours is 44” and this one 39” but they are both similar price at BRS for around $550. So let me ask do you think your sump is worth $375 if you were to sell it ? I want to buy this sump bc I think it’s perfect for what I need but maybe I’m wrong but sumps are pretty basic and not much can go bad on them.
I had a very similar tank and ran a sicce 4.0 and durso plumbing configuration.
Old tank but was ok
