Wardog, do you have any ideas of why I could do? Don't want to have to run a sump and I would like to connect my system to the frag tank.

You need to have one tank higher than the other. You would need to drill this higher tank so it can drain into the lower tank, preferably with a herbie or bean animal (but a durso will do the trick also). The return pump in the lower tank would then feed the higher tank. Only one pump.

A sump doesnt need to be below the display, just lower than it. My current build has the sump next to the display and approximately 12 inches lower.
