Yeah... that is totally what I meant by backward.
No...
I meant that you should have set up your plumbing such that the pipe going straight down leads to the fuge. And the other one leads to your sump. That way you can partially close the valve on the pipe that leads to your fuge and not ever have to worry about a flood.
Heres a picture of what I mean:
The way that you have it, the most likely thing to clog is the partially closed valve that leads to your sump. If it did clog, all of the flow would go through the fuge, and my guess is that the outlet from the fuge would not be able to allow that much water to drain and the fuge will overflow.
Nice looking tank BTW.

ooo ok, I get what your saying.... Well that would be a good idea, but it works out now to where I have both valves 100% open and I get a slight trickle out of the fuge,,,, I don't know how much but its a fairly steady stream coming out, so I'm happy I guess... Thanks though.

............some bad news, as I'm posting on a seperate topic about it but in a nutshell,,, had microbubbles and tried redoing some plumbing and I bought a big yellow sponge from walmart,,, wrapped it around my drain exit so the water would flow through the sponge breaking down the bubbles... worked for a while.... well yesterday I noticed my tank was cloudy and a weird color... thought nothing of it,,,, got home today, tank was pure yellow... I was like are you freaking kidding me,,,, yellow sponge died my water yellow..... so I took the sponge off did a 30g change, and am awaiting the morning to see how its going, I didn't want to do a much bigger change, and actually couldn't as thats all the r/o I had made.... so that ruined my night =/

as long as you adjust the temp to the same as the tank and make sure the ph will not swing that much because the tank is new it will be ok...maybe not do 90 all at once but 40 or 50 would be fine. i do weekly 35-40 gallon changes so i do not have to add stuff...keeps the calcium up and all....can get pricey though but i just bought a bucket of reef crystals salt for 31 bucks!!!
