1 1/4" bulk heads reduced to 1" pipe. The valve is fully open and full siphon. If I went with 3/4 pvc I would be using the emergency drain.

This whole system is super quiet.

Power outage simulation done and no issues.

I'm really liking the sump above the tank sooooo quiet. The flow has greatly improved.

I have above tank sumps on 4 of my fresh water tanks. I wouldnt say mine are quiet but work well.

I have the inlet to the sump below water level and the return a full siphon. The foam pads on the fx4 help and the little bit of tubing connects the pvc to fx4 reduces vibrations even further. All working together makes it very quiet.

I had a bit of an issue. The sump water reached emergency drain.

Thought I got all the bits of vertmid snails out of rhe sump. Nope a little bit was left. It was clogging the return nozzles. Cleaned those out and poof fixed.

It's hard to see but my bwbta is splitting.

Houston we have a problem. Ok a minor issue. Ok ok more like an mole hill. The emergency drain has a small drip from a 90° that I forgot to glue. It's over the DT

I'll fix it this weekend won't have to shut the sump down.

I added some rocks to the sump last night

 

[sfin52]

A snew coral. It came back to my tank from a friend's tank. His got to big fragged it and gave back to me.

The fist chamber of my sump had very little movement. Threw on a 90° elbow. Now my algea is spinning in circles. Over all decent flow in the sump
