Sorry had problems with uploading photos.
Thanks for all the kind words and interest in my thread.
Seeing as plumbing has started it is time to sort the sump.
Now for this I have gone 2 separate tanks.
A 4x2x2 for a K1 moving bed filter and a 6x2x2 for mechanical filtration.
So water flows from the tank into the 4x2x2 then into the 6x2x2.
I bought the tanks and added the dividers to where I wanted them for the sump.

Looks great, but why do you have the K1 before the mechanical filtration? I would think that you would want it the other way around.

From my understanding you want to keep the k1 clean and free of waste.
It only makes sense to have the mechanical first getting rid of most of that waste(solids), and letting the k1 do the rest.
Awesome tank but it sounds like you need to swap the order the tank drains into your sumps.
It would make for a much more effiecient system.
I'd agree with that, I'm not particularly familiar with K1 but I'd think with any bio media you would want the mechanical media first.
I thought my 2.2M sump was too big, yours is epic!!!
