Setting up Sump

The drains go in the compartment before the socks. The water then overflows into the socks. Its a very nice set up. Mine is like that.
Thanks I thought that was the case but the company I ordered from won't return my emails after the delivery service I received can't wait to get it up and running.
Nice tank i like the blocky dimensions. How are you rigging up the returns?
The dimensions are 48 length by 36 width by 30 high and the sump is 43 length x 24 wide by 18 high. looking foward to moving my ornatipinnis and Ctenopoma acutirostre into there new home soon, cannot fill till the 16th :'(
to be honest i bought it with pipe work, due to always normally using canister filters but due to the size of this tank i though a sump would be more practical. but the pipe work kit that came with it was just a lot of pipe and attachments, so for the return pump is on a flexi pipe to a 90 which then runs to a flow valve which then runs to another 90 back into the tank wier then another 90 to right hand side of the tank and then a 90 and a 90 to the pre drilled hole in the bracing bar.
Nice. Im trying to wrap my head around that return setup but i think I'll have to wait until you have it set up to see what you mean.
Tbh with the way it was made there would of been no other way to get the return back into the tank otherwise
