Need sump/fuge set up advice/help

[AnthonyAce]

I have a 20 gallon sump with a 30 Gallon fuge beneath it. The 90 gallon tank feeds the sump and a 3/4" siphon feeds the fuge from the sump and than gets pumped back into the sump near the return to the tank.

I am not content with the set up and I am restricted to switch the fuge from the beneath the sump to above the sump due to space limitations in the pump room. See attached photo.

Does anyone have any suggestions on plumbing this set up?

dude turn the 20 to a fuge and the 30 to the sump the 20 is acrylic drill it for 3/4 bulkhead fitting you don't need a huge pump to go up from sump to fuge the gravity feed back to return in the sump :splitspin

There's the issue I can't fit a 30 gal tank at that hieght because the closet is beneath the stairs. So there is less room on top than on the bottom.

I am stumped!

good idea - I've drilled tanks on the flat but never vertically - Have you ever drilled a tank verically?

if so, how did you retain te cool water flush??
