Anyone have a diagram of their reef tank sump plumbing for 125 Aqueon reef ready tank to sump they would like to share? My husband is struggling a bit to plumb this tank. I have a Biocube 32 with upgrades in back that includes a refugium with ATO underneath, however this new tank (125 gallon) is giving us issues in the plumbing area It's a lit harder than we expected it to be.

While this is not your tank, its close. They have a few videos on setting one up with a sump. It might help
If not what part is being difficult?

Yes the plumbing is a harder part I guess he is looking to do PVC he currently has hoses and clamps and I'm not a fan.

I just did the plumbing on my 75G, best advice i can offer is look at the youtube videos and draw it out the way you want it. I used unions on both sides of the return and the drain lines, just makes it easier to take apart if needed. Also, take your time. good luck

Yes thank you. My husband drew it out now to do a dry fit. We are using both pvc and pvc flex fittings so hopefully everything turn out good!

Good luck, i ended up with one small weep on a gate valve only when i put back pressure on it. It was a lot of work but well worth in the end.

this one is mine. Its very simple but you have an idea. It doesnt have to be complicated.

this is my friend’s a bit more piping since this one has dual overflows but its pretty straight forward
