40 gallon Breeder build

Here's a drawing of what I'm thinking of doing. With Ball Valves controlling the flow.

And yes in my past life I was a famous artist.

That looks like it would work.
Nice cross flow.
My 120 has returns so I + the split to have a ball valve bleed off(flow control) back to sump.
No reason you can't do the same to another sump.

OK omw to buy the pipe fittings. I'll post the final outcome. Thanks.

No luck yet fine tuning the pumps. My DT sump water lvl doesn't stay consistent and I will eventually run one of my pumps with no water.

Finally got both pumps tuned in. I had it running for 2 days to be sure and everything looked good. I hooked up my ATO and I couldn't be any happier with the setup. Until, today when I hooked up both systems to my controller. I shut off both pumps to connect them to the controller. When I turned them back on they weren't the same anymore. One was pumping more than the other so I'm gonna have to try something different.

I'm thinking of just running both 40 gallons into one sump setup and the other sump I'll use as my ATO water.
