Just picked up this baby today! SpamBam!

I had a Kimber 1911 and was by far my favorite owned so far. Traded it for two and have regretted ever since.
I just got a Kimber Micro carry and really like it.

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?

The only issue I see with that is if you get an air lock when the pump shuts down. Can it prime itself?

Yeah I'm not sure and not sure I want to get it all ready for water then have to wait a week again for another pump if it doesn't work. I really wanted a controllable DC pump anyway.

both questions,not yet but soon ,running late
from my exp with the pan worlds it will have enough water to reprime ,but suggest ,drill it.. do a few practice holes on spare acrylic first
