Default Settling chamber plans

Here's a picture of it so far, but that's only a 30 gallon can, I'm
going to use a 55 gallon one. Plus I haven't bought the right pipes yet,
those are all 3" ones I had already.

Hey, will this work? I plan on using a plastic drum (like they sell
chemicals in) for the chamber.

Your pump will likely outrun your siphon. Are the water levels all
the same or near it? The siphon will try to equalize the water
levels, but will probably not keep up with the pump flow unless you
have /big/ piping.
