Your time and effort is definitely paying off, very impressive.

Leaks fixed in the sump.

With a head height of 18" the sump was flooding the first sump compartment. I drilled three one inch holes to let water out in the second compartment. The water was moving so fast in the, .. ... ..1 1/4" pipe that almost no water was escaping out of the holes.

I put a 1 1/4" ball valve to apply a little back pressure.

3000 GPH! 6 foot headheight should bring it down to just over 2000.

I haven't been able to work on the aquarium as much as I would of liked. I am recovering from a two week chest cold.

Today is the first day in a while That my heart was in it.

Working on pre glass chores.

Now to build a glass install shelf.
