Nice compilation Alex. Those pics are disgusting. Both visually and ethically. They look like those nasty stock tanks you see at dirty Asian grocery stores. Hard to believe those are somebody's "pets" : screwy:

Someone has to much money to kill that many fish I think they need to give up on live fish and keep air with paper cut outs of fish

At least he's not into dogs, otherwise it would look like this.
You have an addiction John. It's time you realize that and get some help. Stop buying fish.

Do any of these sound familiar?
Focal Delusional Disorder Model
Focal delusional disorder involves a belief system which is out of touch with reality. It could be present in some animal hoarders when there are claims that the animals are well cared for in the face of compelling evidence to the contrary, and may accompany paranoia about officials who are actually trying to help both the hoarder and the animals.
I think the photos above are proof enough, but please read on...
Exploiters Hoarders
These hoarders acquire animals to serve their own needs and are indifferent to the harm caused to them; deny the problem and reject authority figures or outside help; believe they know best and have an extreme need to control; may come across as charming, articulate, manipulative and cunning; skilled at presenting excuses and explanations for their circumstances; self-concerned and expressing no remorse or guilt; acquires animals actively; plans to evade the law, will lie cheat and steal without remorse in order to achieve their goals.
John, you are telling me you know best when the photos above clearly prove otherwise. A lot of fish fall into your lap, but you also actively seek them, despite struggling to keep the stock you have alive.
Community factors that contribute to animal hoarding range from the inaction of people in the community to the enacting of vague legislation. Friends, neighbors and relatives are often the first people to see the signs of animal hoarding before it becomes tragic, however they also may have little information about animal hoarding and thus not fully recognize what they are facing or know what to do about it.
Communities contribute to animal hoarding when people want to get rid of their pets but feel guilty about taking them to a shelter where they may be euthanized. Instead, without much investigation, they drop their unwanted pets off with the neighborhood cat lady who will refuse no animal in need. Many people will not take the time to find out if she can actually handle another animal and unknowingly contribute the problem.
West1, isn't that your ATF that got mauled to death by the Armatus or was it John's Barramundi?
How many people have donated or sold fish to John that they could no longer keep? This sight is crawling with irresponsible fish keepers who buy fish they can not properly care for. And there are very few with tanks large enough to keep them. The signs are all there...
John is the "neighborhood cat lady."
I'm not posting this to be cruel. John, I honestly hope you get help and stop this obsessive compulsive behavior. It's obviously not good for your fish and I know it must be putting a strain on your family...your are spending 10 hours per week doing water changes.
You cannot read the information above and not realize that you fit every characteristic of a hoarder. Get help bro.

Back to filtration and heating...
The sump obviously have lots of room to optimize. It's a matter of sinking money into bio media and fill those things up...not too crazy about the bio balls...but better there than sitting in a bag.
Curious about your temp sensor placement. It works if the you can guarantee water flow, that is the flow is fast enough that the entrance temp correctly reflect the tank temp. Suppose say you got called away for two weeks and the flow slows down in the meantime. Then potentially your sensor placement is too close to the heating element that it no longer reflect the temperature of the tank...why take the risk? just put the temp sensor in the tank itself.

Sorry but I think that is BS it would have to all most stop flowing for any thing bad to happen with his heating

How is that BS? This is basically the same concept of those heater in the canister concepts. The trouble with those is that when the water flow reduces, the heating became uneven. It is always good to have the sensor at the target area than close to the heating element.

I have to agree with ecoli, just like in a more basic set up, you put your thermometer on the opposite side of the tank.
