The surge is initiated by my Apex, all I need is to use an outlet in my EB8 to turn on the 3 vacuum pumps just as the linear actuator valves are being opened. All 3 overflows can be pulled from minor overflow drains to full siphons.

If it work, it's no more difficult than 3 vacuum pumps plugged into the same outlet on the Apex with 3 airlines at each overflow pipe.

I'll try it by manually sucking a vacuum on one overflow first. If it works, I'll try to make a vid.

If the siphons can be activated, I might be able to add another 10 gals to the surge! Might need to upsize the buffer sump again... Too greedy.

The sump overflow during the surge is the main source of any bubbles now (not bad, but still there). If it siphons, that would eliminate them.
