Dual 75G Tanks And Sump

[Rachel.Cody]

There is no problem plumbing multiple tanks to one sump as long as the sump is large enough to handle the transient volume. Depending on how you are getting the water out of the 75s I would guess the 30 is way to small. I would look to a 75 gallon sump and once you know how much the tanks will drain down at power failure then you can see how much water you can keep in there during normal operation. I see you are drilling which is my favorite way. Please have a read here on hole sizes vs flow rates http://www.wetwebmedia.com/BulkheadFloRateArt.htm. Good luck and looking forward to what you come up with!

We're buying the tanks predrilled with 1" overflows. Would we be better off doing the dump i as in a large Rubbermaid tote?

A rubbermaid watering trough would be ideal.

That's what I used to use too, now I am finishing a 270 gallon plywood sump.

I've read all about plywood tanks but a plywood sump is a great idea
