I have a question Frank, my original sump plan was to use an old tank and drill. Since i'm going from basement to upstairs I already bought a PanWorold 150 external pump but now 6 months later I got that pretty Trigger sump and I dont want to drill it. Will a piece of pipe running up from bottom of the sump to pump outside work? Or do you think it
will require internal pump?
I’ve seen a tank in person with a basement sump and a panworld return. Let me look through his buildthread to see if he drilled through the tank or not.

@DiefsReef ok so, he has a manifold that is connected to a pump in the sump. The sump pump feeds the manifold and the return is at the end of the manifold. The pan world is attached where the green is and the internal pump is where the orange is. Sorry...I don’t think the trigger sump has the space; at least mine doesn’t have the space. For what it’s worth, I have a jebao dcp 10000 as my return pump and I think it would be strong enough to pump from a basement.

Phone camera people, adjusting for leds is tough but see what your phone will do, mostly T5s here, flat on, level and square to the glass, give yourselves a chance as any angle equals distortion on the pic, you might not get the view you want but you should get better pics! :)

I'm guessing that this would work best with clean glass, right? Lol

I showed her the pic and she said, that takes up less space than the big blue tub on the floor. Where is he at again? Something you could get one day on a weekend?

Give me some time and I will talk her into it. Got to go drill some 40b tanks for a friend, so gonna mess around in the garage a bit and possibly tape out an area lol.
