could only find a few pictures but you can kinda get an idea of what I'm talking about. It makes it easier because you have one line in and one line out of your sump.

Looked very cool Joe but this system is done and works unbelievable.Alright it is up and running great .Going to take awhile to get the temp up so I can put used media filters in.I'm getting Bio ball for the sump under filter media out of the water but not for awhile also going to order some porcelain ring for the middle of the sump.

That was another problem I had, almost forgot LOL. I had to keep a heater in the sump, and a couple in the some tanks to keep the temp up. Since each tank drains to the sump, you may not have that problem. Looks friggin sweet Bud. You will have lots of room to grow lots of fish brother. You may want to try to make some kind of lid for the sump and the tanks to try to hold as much heat in as you can.

Yes I hope to get glass lids for the tanks and I will cut a piece of Plexiglas for the sump

Wow thanks so much for your comments.I got the water up to temp and add lots of used media filter.I also installed the screens for over flow they will help with cleans from the bottom of the tank.Can't wait for the bio ball to get there going to help quit this thing up for now it sound like it is raining in the house hehehe
