1/1/2006 Update


The sump/fuge is complete. Ran into a small problem during testing. I found that the design did not allow enough flow so no there are 2 Quiet One 1200 pumps running the system. This should give me about 300gph. Here are a couple of update pictures


The top center you can see a drain this is in the part of the sub-floor drain used to clean the tank and water changes. On the bottom back you can see the 2 pumps. If you notice the quick connects and shut off valves. This allows the disconnect so you can roll the sump out for cleaning.


You can see the roll out tray system for the sump earlier picture of the sump/fuge



Thanks for checking in.
