Sump/Pumbing Pics please!!!

Well during the planning phase of my new 90G RR, i've been looking at lots of designs for plumbing.
Seems that plumbing the return with a manifold is very popular so i can branch off to run reactors, etc.

I would love to see some pictures "under the hood" of your reef setups.
Looking for my design inspiration.

My intent is to use a 30gal 36" tank as my sump, baffled for drain, fuge, return.

Looking forward to seeing what you got!!

Skimmer design in theory.

First build of it.

The tank was too high and I could not get my skimmer out or really do anything in the tank, so onto cutting glass. I left the first chamber high so that I can still use the extra water volume. This is what my sump looks like now.

What is the last output on the end for??? Water changes??

Also you have any other photos in there??

Not my photo nor setup, was another members setup. Looks like far right is where his return pump would hookup too, outlet on bottom I'm assuming as a pressure release valve for line, and on far left would be the outlet for return back to tank.

Plumbing is hard to see cause of the skimmer but the Far left is my return to tank.  The next 3 are the drains.  The horizontal one to the other side of the sump is tee d off the return line.  One thing I would do differently is put a valve after/above the tee to better control flows and pressures on the recycle.

And you can usually just drill PBS an tap with the proper threads to run reactors.  I did it with a mishmash of adaptors.
