Very nice! It is going to be so nice to work on your sump so easily when it is all up and running and have a beautiful display tank in the house without any clutter.
Thanks Ace, it'll be a huge help.
Did the drain work out okay (seems to be in the pic)? It looks like you may have lowered things a bit from what it looks like...
Looks great, btw!
Thanks Amphi! The drain is working out fine. I used 1-1/2" tubing, and it seems like it can't handle the water flow. (At full flow, the pump seems to be pushing more water than the drain can handle..) It still flows, however, I get a pushback, creating a wave effect. I might keep it this way, as it creates extra water volume. My only issue right now is trying to figure out how to reduce noise in the display tank. Any ideas?
I changed the drain a little bit from the original design. When draining into the 45, I added a removable fitting so I can drain anything that may get swallowed into the drain. Also, the garage is 2-1/2"
I really like the drain youve got goin on there!I was thinking about raising my sump off the floor too.I bend over everytime I go to the pet store,you shouldnt have to do it at home..very nice!
Thank you, the added height does make things a little more comfy.
Here's a video where you can see the max flow, and the siphoning action it does because the pump is a little too strong:
