Wish I would have seen this thread earlier, I would have suggested a Herbie drain set up or Bean Animal, but durso's work, in fact most run that, but I can't stand the noise or occasional flushing. The water in that sump looks pretty high, have you left enough room for power outages/ shutting the pumps down?

That pipe is for my water change system. I have a jebao dc3000 hooked to it. It pumps water out of that center chamber for water changes.

Water is too high right now, it's not at normal height. I havn't drained off water since I started adding rock. Even at the current height there is enough room in the sump when the pumps turn off.
I don't get any flushing unless the sump water level is too high. The key is to not have the pipes coming off the bulkheads too deep into the water.

I've been doing a lot of the "behind the scenes" work lately. Auto top off, mixing tank, controller, etc. I'll post pictures later after I get the wiring cleaned up. I did get wiring ran to the lights (AI Vega) and did some more rock work. The lights will eventually be suspended inside the canopy. I'm currently not running them just to keep algea down.

Are you adding a canopy? This tank is gorgeous as a topless, rimless beauty. I think it looks great now!

It's been a while since any updates...Here are some pictures of the equipment directly behind the tank. It's still a bit messy in here, but everything is up and running. We ended up pulling a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the equipment. I may have the largest top off tank in the state, 250 gallons. Saltwater mixing station. Valves in this position is for mixing. If I throw both valves the other way it shoots the water into my sump for water changes.

Starting to see some good signs of life. I'm working on getting the woodwork started now so I can get the sump enclosed.

Very nice. Any shots of your sump and how your reactors in the equipment room are plumbed in?
