I like your drip trays. I was lazy and cut out the center of my containers and replaced it with that flexible white plastic craft mesh grid type stuff

Nice trickle towers. I had a really tight fit in my sump and made mine out of acrylic. The store bought ones were too large or too small

I like your tube connecting the sumps. I've Always Thought of Doing that. What size pvc did you use?

Also if your anything like me I'd build a cage or something out of 2x4's to protect it. That would last 10 mins in my basement before I kicked it.

I used 2" pvc. Good idea on the cage. I'm sure I'd eventually kick it as well.

My floor was the same way, i bought a few packs of plastic shims and braced the stand every 2 inches or so. My fear was the stand would settle over time and deflect.

Looking good. I have two sumps in my 450 system and I only connected with a 1" line. I wish I went two inches like you did. You will not regret the extra expence now. It's worth it.
