Just hard plumbed my sump/fuge. It rocks!!! I probably only spent 20 bucks on everything including the primer and cement.

2 10 foot segment sof pvc 3.00
a hand full of 90 degree angles .27 each-maybe 2.70 total
1 inch ball valve 5.00
1/2 inch ball valve 2.50
1 2 way splitter 1.15
1 cap off end- .27
cement/primer 5.00

19 and change.

and I fitted my tank with a spraybar return across the top of the waterline. no other way makes any sense to me.
