    Default upgrading tank please help

    Ok needsome input on running sump in basement
    trying to get ideas for for the new tank setup 194 gallons current tank is 130 it will go the same place as old tank. going to have a inline pump as well as a pump going from the basement. I think I will have to go though the wall to the steps not the best looking but easy to fix latter. I am guessing I will need to add 4 more holes in the tank 2 more drains and 2 more outputs or can I use the currant setup up. using a y adapter or simular and if so I need 600-800gph from the sump to the tank about 6-7' from the tank to the sump what size pump should I use looking at the World-pan pumps either

    I would go with the blueline 70 hd (or what ever it is in the panworld same pump just different lables)if you want the 600-800gph. I would also maybe think about going with more water flow so maybe the 100 hd of equ. To be honest 600-800 gph is no that much for a tank that size. I am running a 210 and the main pump which has the least amount of gph out of all of the pumps running is utting out 1000-1100 gph.
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.
