yeah, it has morphed into about 3 or 4 different things...
By plumbing, the main thing i was wondering was how you seperated the skimmer and the refugium section coming from the drain bulkhead and you just use a simple tee. I was thinkin of somethin else a little more complicated involving a 45 degree, and a tee but I guess I should just stick to the notion of K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid). I'm not quite sure what you are talking about with the plumbing to exit the sump on the left end but maybe I can get you to help me out with that one cause my sump/fuge is exaclty like what you've described yours as and I haven't drilled it yet to put the bulkhead in or anything. I'll send you a pm

No, I didn't just use a simple tee. It's actually a little complicated, mostly due to the stand space confines. What happens is this; out of the tank drain bulkhead there's PVC that drops straight down, then a 45o bend to get over the sump, then another 45o elbow to resume straight down, then a 90o elbow with 1/2" threaded side outlet, which points to the fuge, there's a ball valve and a hose barb connected to the side outlet. That sends whatever I want to the fuge, the rest goes through the 90o elbow to another 90o to send it back straight down vertical into the sump.

If you want you can come over some time and have a look.
