Oh really? I was debating on getting the model up when I was at the store but ended up on that one, what size or gph should I be looking for do you think? Cause seeing how poorly that overflow seems to sit in the tank makes me think I’m definitely going drilled now.
Sump finally arrived today after ordering on 10/17 😅pretty disappointed

After messing with the HOB overflow and getting your suggestions I returned it and think I’m going with the modular marine 1800. I got a few other pieces as well to work on, 2 MP40s off the marketplace here and a xr15 G6 pro as well as ordering 2 more new radion pros. The used one came with the single mounting arm and the MP40s came with nem guards. I got 2 open box mounting arms for cheap and the 70” rail to mount them from the sides of the tank so more cutting lol. I got a return pump also the eflux current 3170gph DC, not sure about it but haven’t been able to try it yet. But so far I’ve gotten a decent amount of the equipment needed been looking forward for over a month to get my sump in and it’s broken so that’s got me kind of down 😅.

Oof!! That’s rough… I’m sorry….

Hopefully you’ve reached out to the manufacturer to explain that it was broken in transit?
Yeah I emailed them right away and sent a few pictures, it looks pretty obvious to me that something jabbed it in shipping and they just taped over the box. I imagine it will take them a few days due to the holidays but I’m hoping they just resend another one instead of a refund because this was supposed to be a blemished one off their website that they sell for cheaper so I only paid $470 for it as opposed to $750 new. It would be a shame to have to pay an extra couple hundred bucks for something that wasn’t my fault after waiting such a long time because of their warehouse fire that delayed my order. As for it being blemished I didn’t notice anything other than the damage so hopefully that works in my favor of a resend!
