I'm not sure why I drew that line in.. :-) The FOWLR will just have one main sump which will hook into the reef sump via a 1 1/2 or 2" pipe, and a water change tank which will over flow into the fowlr sump.

so there is no flow in the left hand end area just static water with no way in or out?

Oh, sorry, that rockfugium is fed by a direct line from the mixed reef :-)

.. which is why I may replumb that whole sump.. if I can be bothered.

I am not trying to be picky, just trying to make sure you do it right the first time
