   We will be moving soon and our new house will have the opportunity to have a basement sump. Looking for input/experience in terms of what to do and what not to do in terms of plumbing, return pump etc. We are also planning on having a frag tank tied into the display tank via the sump. Any advice in that arena would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

   well.....other than needing a larger return pump you'll also want to make sure that if your drains have long horizontal runs you have them angled downward a few degrees. This is so that the water flows freely to prevent gurgling and siphoning in the drain line from traped air.
