Nice sized sump! I need to increase mine as it's only about 20 gallons.
My 100 gallon rubbermaid project did not quite work out so it's back to the drawing board.. Where did you get your pump locally, what's its GPH at 5' ?

im really not sure. i bought it at a garage sale for 5 bucks from some lady. its plumbed with 1 1/2 inch pvc. her husband died and they sold the tank. apparently they left it behind on accident.
the tank was close to 800gallons.
bad news guys.
i havent been down stairs in a couple days cause my legs broke and all so its a pain in the ass. well, my mom hit the tube of the 125 i have with a smaller pump. any way she hit it really hard the other day and didnt tell me till it "made a funny noise." turns out the tube popped off the pump and it stopped pumping back into the tank. so i went down there today to find my 15" pike cichlid DEAD and the cats in serious trouble. turns out one of the cats (deff. the ****ing RTC.) hit the heater so hard the piece of **** broke. so the water temp was 68!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, i siphoned out all the water and put it in the pond. used the same pump to rig up a filter with a 50 gallon cooler and bought another 300 watt heater the day AFTER they were 60% off. the RTC might not make it.....

Tragedy avoided, glad you hadnt gotten my fish yet. I cant believe you had a glass heater in with a RTC in a 125 gal tank . Sorry for your losses though
Thought you said your pond wasnt set up ... anyway still need to get rid of these fish , theres gotta be some fishkeepers in K.C cmon represent
