From the sump. I just use a small pump to pull water from the sump and put water back.

Ooops, I selected sump, but really I take from the display. But when I put water back in, I put into the back of the refuge/sump, so it can mix nicely with existing water before being pumped back up.

I always suck it from the sumps on all my setups, I also pump it back into the sumps. I ran pex pipe from all tanks to my laundry tub and just bought a pump to sit in the sump. I also have some pumps in my mixing station/tank where it is also pumped through pex piping back to the sump.

Never lift a finger, take a look at my 375 gallon build for pics.

Thanks
Corey
