Looking clean. Hope mine looks that good when I get done with it. Any reason you went with 45‘s over 90’s?
Thanks Denon.
Yup, I went with the 45s over the 90s to reduce flow restriction. I would have preferred long sweep 90s but I couldn't find them that small so I made my own with a couple of 45s.
I couldn’t think of a way easily smooth out the flow in the T-fitting so I‘m just gonna live with it,

Cool, I was planning on going the 45 route too, but I watched a video BRStv, put up on YouTube where they did a flow rate test between 3 or 4 pumps and 90‘s vs 45’s. The flow rate between them was all comparable, and within the margin of error so I’ll probably just go with 90’s.
Ya well, it can’t hurt either. The difference may be minimal but I believe the concept is solid.
Besides............45s AND my labor is very cheap! LOL
Do Different PVC Fittings Really Make a Difference in Water Flow? - POND Trade Magazine
We always hear about the efficiencies of some pipe fittings over others, but let’s find out how they work in a controlled test. Is it worth using two 45ºs elbows vs one 90º, to attain better flow or is there another choice? Learn what actual head, dynamic head, and Total head are. Read this to...

What kind of light did you go with for the sump? Been thinking I’d like something down there, but no idea what to get.
I had more room in the cabinet I built for the 300 so I used (4) 24” long fluorescent lights.
