Hello,
I've posted this in the general hardware/filtration forum, so I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting here to get more eyes on it.
I just got a great deal on this SWC acrylic sump with a bunch of chambers including a very simple built-in needlewheel skimmer.
Hoping for some help figuring out how it's supposed to be plumbed. Drains in different chambers? Same chamber? I'm not too sure. Where is the return supposed to go, etc.
Note that pics are just after I got it. Much cleaner now
Note that the chamber marked as return is walled off on the right from the skimmer pump section. Also, the skimmer pump section is connected to the "post-skimmer" section by a slot in the baffle between two sections of the bubble trap.
I'd just like to be absolutely certain how to plumb it before I remove my current sump, as I'd rather not have livestock waiting for filtration while I redo the plumbing 3 times. How would y'all set this up?
