I've gotten my tank drilled and overflow installed and I just finished up plumbing the overflow to the sump and I'm looking for some advice or comments on my plumbing (everything is dry fit and has not been glued yet)

This is the side profile. Tape is there just to hold it in place.
I've got a union just down from the valve. This is going to be my main drain.

Here's a shot of the pipes. I was originally intending on the plumbing on going through the back so it was a little awkward to get everything to fit. Had to cross the main drain over the secondary.

Here's a shot of all the plumbing coming into the sump.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

90 degree elbows can pose issues with water flow if there is even the slightest upward angle on the horizontal sections going toward the sump. Air can get trapped in those sections and create a lot of noise, not to mention restrictions in flow. If possible, I would use 45 degree elbows to keep everything flowing downward on the main drain line.

Thanks for the advice!
