The mangrove trees have been getting a little out of hand, growing over 5 feet above the sumps water surface.
The most worry some aspect though, is that the roots might begin to compromise the integrity 125 gal glass sump.
The solution (at least as see it), is to move the trees to a separate barrel sump, a little less costly to replace, if the roots get too invasive.
I've picked up a 55gal plastic barrel, a couple bulkheads, and a hole saw drill bit, and situated the barrel where it ¨may work¨.
Next step to drill the barrel, and retrofit the sump plumbing extesions.
