Plumbing>sump connection

Interested in seeing pictures/diagrams of how your plumbing terminates at your sump. My sump is a 30L and will be divided into skimmer chamber>refugium>return.

I plumbed some 1" PVC but the running water noise is too loud in the pipes that have elbows. I roughed in some spa-flex and it is silent. So I will have three drain lines of 1" spaflex that need to routed to the sump - I will probably put together something out of PVC to make it rigid.

These are the pipes that will be replaced with spa-flex:

you can enclose the first chamber where the water from the tank drains into the sump, this will cut the noise quite abit. I would build a lid and use bulk head fittings.
