100g rubbermaid sump

plastic wore out the drill?or just that many holes?lol
float,ahh,thats what "that" is in the pics.lol
it runs the lil pump?
where do you pump that water?
just curious.lol

I didn't literally wear out the drill, but I went through a couple batteries lol. The float switch turns that small pump on that pumps the water to drain.

That will look awesome with a bench frame around it

IMO you should have installed the float valve higher up in the sump to allow for more water volume in the sump.

I can move it by adjusting the levels on the switch or just raise the entire switch assembly. I just hooked it up this way to begin with and I'll probably move it a few times before I get it where I want it. Right now the lowest level is about 10" and the highest it gets is around 14-15".

Nixed that idea because of the pipes and wires that would run everywhere

basement I have a 1 1/2" pipe that wraps around the room and then goes into the basement. Each tank drains into that pipe which goes to my sump pump downstairs (or gets collected if I need to water something)

I see you had the key element to getting any fish project done

That's a pretty wicked looking filter. Time to add more fish.

Gotta love the fact that in nearly every project you see the random beer bottle. Heh.. it's true with my projects as well.. I somehow without even trying manage to have one sitting in the photo.
