I have been to Reef Central
or
Salwater is what I would really like.

I want to build a completely open free standing aquarium. I think I can have a large sump (90 gal) in another room beside the basement. I was thinking I would use something like Anthony Calfo's coral propagation ledges but just do something similar in two of the corners. Bulkheads up near the top of the display tank for the returns. I will plumb that down through some ABS and across the floor and back up to the sump where I will put the return pump. I intend to suspend the return lines and have them enter the top of the display.
Which leads me to a question that I have been meaning to ask bob fenner's crew. If I have these overflows up near the top, side by side, on the display, and my sump is say 5" inches lower than the display, what happens to the water level along the line running across the floor and back up to the sump ? Can I join the individual returns together into one big line ?

Rocks has a far simpler question, will I flood the house ?
Hey JF, I have been reading your stuff for awhile, I never knew you had fish, imagine that.
