sorry about the cap I for got to mention I have holes drilled in the cap to keep the noise down and to keep any "stuff" from getting down in the water


A and N go inside the tank

D and K rest on top of the tank

To Start the siphon you need to cover N and O until you draw water out the check valves




Quote:
As the water rises above A it will also rise in G and pour out of O into the sump. The pink check valve is to start the siphon and remove any air that might get in there. In the event of a power failure the level of water in parts A and G will be equal and the siphon will be maintained throughout the entire red section. When the power starts up the siphon will continue.

Question:

Could you spread the whole thing out to look like the diagram and have the overflow entries on either side of the tank
Answer:
Yes I originaly had the plan to put the inlets in the corners of the tank right beside a set of powerheads

Answer:
Yes you can make the left side the same as the right
the reason Y I did it different is so that I could make intertwine and make the overall footprint on the back of the tank smaller
