Wow that is paradise. I feel peaceful just looking at the photos. What a beautiful place to go clear your mind. Thanks for sharing these
You are welcome! I have tried living in other places but the mountains will always be my home.
 
All I’m asking for is more sunlight but the oaks ignore my pleas, definitely unrest in the forest!
There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream oppression And the oaks just shake their heads

Hey Everyone!! Sorry I have been absent trying to figure out this sump swap!! I finally got it after 2 days and many stores. After having to find a 32mm conversion adapter to 1” US pipe 🤦‍♂️. It is amazing to have a bigger sump and not compact. Still have to connect the gravity fed ATO. Now have to update my build thread but wanted y’all to see the upgrade first! This is hands down the best thing I have upgraded so far.

Old sump
Can’t see all chambers in this sump, tight and compact.

New sump
Can see every chamber, easy access to equipment to clean and maintain. IMG_6496.jpeg
Agreed. Much better.
 
I was hoping you would post a few more but it’s getting closer to my bedtime. @kingranch2003 , do you want to play a game?
