[QUOTE="BossHogg, post: 118600, member: 2361"] Stalker, Looks good to me, but don't let that influence you in any way.. lol I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff. It looks like we are thinking pretty much the same thing except you're circulation runs off the drain pump rather than the fill. I don't think there would be a problem with pumping out below the water line. If it were a gravity drain, then it would only drain to the water level. The more I think about this, the more I think I'd like to implement some sort of an overflow, but I'm clueless as to how to implement one. Might have to go with some baffling that leads back into the recirculate loop. It would really suck to get distracted by something, leave the fill on too long and have a boat full of water. I was browsing BPS, and saw a couple of float switches. Was thinking this might be handy too. I'm sure there's a couple of different ways it can be accomplished. Anyway, I added the design (minus overflow) into my sketch just to get an idea of scale and layout specific to the area I will have to work with.
