Basically trying to filter/heat a 10g and multiple 2.5gs at the same time. Already went over the pros and cons of connecting the tanks and have decided that this will keep maintenance (mainly frequent water changes) more efficient and less messy. The tanks will use pvc overflows that are connected from one tank to the others and back into the sump. As you can see, I decided to design the piping as a somewhat closed loop system.
Green is plumbing from the pump to the tanks
Orange is the plumbing for the overflows and return plumbing
Blue is a ball valve
Purple is a check valve
Will be adding numerous pvc unions throughout the plumbing
I didn't depict it in the picture, but there will be holes in the pipe above the tanks for water to flow into the tanks.
Note: the overflow pvc design in the picture is just a simplified drawing and not the actual design I'll be using.
