I was planning on some kind of vegetation to help with nitrates. I considered sand, but I was concerned about it becoming waterborne and being pulled into the pump.
I was thinking about having a combination of a DSB, floating plants such as a duckweed that grows extremely quickly for nitrogen removal and also peat for water conditioning. I am still unsure about the sand due to possible difficulties getting it to function effectively and safely rather than concern about the pump. I think if you have a slow enough flow and/or have a layer of fine gravel and there is a decent height of the baffle you shouldn't have a problem with sand in the pump.

Very nice design and workmanship. You have given me ideas. Thanks for the post. Look forward to more post.
Great idea, thanks man!
I was think of how to place a W/D into a running sump without usually silicone. Guess I would be getting some Acrylic later.

I like it. I would have made that mechanical section able to hold filter sock because that's what I prefer, but it really looks fantastic.
Great job.
Great job.
