Wow, that makes everything so much more clear. I am trying to design a sump so when I upgrade my tank in about 2 months I am not scrambling to get it done. It's going to be a 46 with a 20 sump, but I'm still not too sure on how big of a return pump I need. I was thinking of making two overflow boxes and drilling holes in the back of the tank. Would about 550 gph be enough through, say, two 1.25" drain pipes? Or should I have two 1.5" pipes and a bigger return pump? I guess I'm still farther from the end than I realized...

Joseph - IMO go with as big of pipe as you can tolerate visually.

I HATE stumps, they are such a nuisance when you're trying to cut the grass and there's just enough sticking up to catch the front edge of the mower on the tractor, and then if you're unlucky, the blades catch them as well, even worse if you bend a blade! I've tried using those stump remover enzymes, but they can take up to a year to dissolve some of the old pine stumps that...
...what???
oh, YOU said SUMPS!
...never mind

I hate stumps too. I fall over them and spill my beer. Then the grass makes me itch. Stumps tick me off.

Mental Note #3455495
Don't use a gas powered ditch digger for stump removal...you woudn't believe how much air one of those things can catch when it hits a stump.

 That was one of my dad's neat tricks. He rented a walk behind ditch digger so he could redo the wiring for the satellite dish...it seems he never ran it through any conduit pipe the first time he burried it and a digger squirell, gopher or mole chewed through it. Anyway, he decided to see what it would do to an 8 year old oak tree stump that we've tried burning out for several years by having bon fires on top of it. Once it hit one of the roots, the front went up a foot or two and the wheels were about a foot off the ground. He decided a ditch digger doesn't make a very good stump grinder after it broke a few teeth off of it. |

But stumps can be a handy place to put your beer and paper plate when picnicing
