ok so im setting up my new display tank . i want to plumb my frag system directly into my main display . my main question is should i run it off of a different pump? or run it off of my manifold? or should i tee it off before the manifold and run it off of display pump? frag tank plumbing is 1/2" and display plumbing is 1". i am planning on plumbing drain into main drain with a 1' by 1/2" tee . also should i wait until main display is fully cycled . i have it set up as an aio at the moment but it is also drilled for sump so i really like the option of running it with one .
 
I ran mine off a manifold too.

Are you planning on running a coral QT too?
Right now the plan is to have a separate fish and coral qt system as well. Already have the fish qt system in place just need to finish the coral qt system. Need to find a 24” t5 fixture for the coral qt then I should be good to go.
 
Manifold here as well. Just make sure the frag tank can operate by itself in case you need to isolate it from the system. As in has a heater and powerhead and some rock.
