Man that looks awesome, and very well planned out as well. BTW, did you toss a hat last night?

BTW, did you toss a hat last night?

yes, but it wasn't mine! I was wearing my signed ovechkin hat, can't toss that one.

Hey. I was overviewing the design of the sump. Why is re filter sock on the opposite side? Looks like it's backwards.

Sump flow is sock to frag tank. The frag tank will be fed via a pump in the skimmer section, up and over the partition. I had to go up and over (rather than using a uniseal through the partition wall) due to the frags possibly being exposed in a power outage. The other option is the uniseals with a check valve. Thoughts?

 

[Leishman]

Now I think about it, I'll still siphon back going over the top (w/o a check valve or siphon break)

Looking good Rik.

one issue. your frag tank is too small. :)

another question, where is the return pump going? Middle with skimmer? external?

Sump looks awesome man!!! So does that wicked skimma :D

GL... like I mentioned before, stay on top of your distributor or AGE and they should be close...

I still think one of the main issues with mine was that it was stretched over the holidays, and AGE takes a nice, long holiday break.

Frag tank before was never full!

The Return is to go in the skimmer section (internal)
