    Michael that is a sweet design.

    I'd just like to emphasize what Michael is saying about the auto evap solution.

    Just last night I was cleaning my sump pump and had turned off my auto evap switch and forgot to turn it back on (mine is electronic) - well this morning in my puny 10 gallon sump the water had gone down 1" overnight! So your concern is valid.

    Here is a PDF document with a diagram of my FUGE design. I still have to figure out how I can post it in the thread (It is Word/HTML) But I thought I would at least give you this.

    BTW the float valve I got on ebay here for $12.99

    Thanks for all your help!!!!
    I'll probably just do a simple design of intake/skimmer area(10X12),Return area (6.5X12) and Fuge (10X12) and hopefully add a auto top off in the future.
