I finally have anther update for you guys.

I've been having the worst luck with acrylic fabricators. The first guy that built the sump ended up making a mistake with the measurements and my return pump would not fit.

The 2nd guy I had build the sump ended up building a mirror image of the sketch I sent him. He made me another sump the correct way but did not water test the sump and I ended up with 5 gallons of water on my wood floors. I had to fix 2 separate leaks with Weldon 16. :rolleyes:

Fast forward to today... The sump is in, the plumbing is done and she's wet!

I dosed pure ammonia to the system and now its a waiting game.

I also added a Maxpect Gyre XF-120 for flow. Set at 50-60%, it will move more than enough water to keep everything suspended.

This is how it looks with the 2.5L dosing containers.

Wow the sump looks like a compact car motor lol.

very slick - one concern the mh power pack looks like its below the sump water line, are you worried about salt creep or water splash during maintenance?

I designed the sump to be 16" tall to prevent any salt spray.

So far it looks like it wont be a problem but only time will tell.
