I am setting up a 10G fuge and I have read some where in here that you should tee off of the return pump and have it run into the fuge?
I am thinking of building it this way:
I have an overflow from one of the corners of 55G tank that I could run right into the fuge. The inlet line to my fuge will have a gate/ball valve on it to control the amount of flow into the sump. I am going to put an outlet/overflow on the fuge that dumps right into the sump.
Does this sound OK or is there a reason I should get the water from the return pump?
