Sump Suggestions/Advice for Multiple Tanks (150g + 50 gallons) on a single sump

[LikeRichMahogany]

I am in the process of setting up a new tank in my home office, a 150 Gallon tank from SCA with an external overflow that has three drains. When I constructed my office, I ran three drains through the floor, as well as a return line to be able to Plumb this tank into my basement.


I will be constructing a small fish room, maybe 10x10 or so, or slightly larger, up to maybe 16x10 to hold the filtration and a frag tank.

The frag tank is 48x12x16 and is currently drilled with a 1 1/4" Hole but no overflow, and the hole is too close to the corner for any of the overflows I am familiar with. I have drilled tanks before, and I am not terribly scared to try again, as I got a good deal on this tank. My thoughts would be to drill for something like the Fiji Cube LoPro 800 as I already have one of these on-hand.

I have a bashea 36 sump I got a pretty good deal on, but I don't think it's large enough for both the frag tank and the display tank. It also doesn't have as many compartments as I would like, nor does it support adjustable water flow.

What kind of sump would you recommend for approximately 200 gallons of aquarium volume, and how would I go about plumbing this?

Quick Edit; the sump I have doesn't support adjustable water level. I had a typo in my original post.

I've always thought acrylic sumps were overpriced. When I had a 150g and a 180g plumbed together I just used a glass 125g I picked up for free and had a glass company cut the baffles and I silicone them in place.
