Here is a pic of my old cube.

Jim that looks like a very very good design! But why take up valuable space in the DT? The tank is going to be on a stand right? Why not put a sump in the stand?

I'm looking to simplify, reduce energy consumption, and increase reliability. I think a lot of complexity, wasted energy, and potential issues are introduced with a sump. I will still essentially run a closed loop for various reactors. But with the in tank sump it won't lose the head pressure like happens with a sump. No chance for overflows should the drain line get plugged. Less equipment (hoepfully) there will hopefully be less cord clutter and equipment maintenance.

Basically, I'm looking to do exactly what reefermike did with his cube.
