Ok sump installed under tank. Lid was made yesterday to help stop moisture and a cheap but effective led light has been ordered to keep this sump lit on an opposite schedule of the dt lights. 10 lbs of live sand right from the coral tank of my lfs. Lots of life already. And a few lbs of rubble lr.
Tunze 9002 skimmer running and already pulling crud.
1" threaded bulkhead was all I could find locally I then had to customize it to remove inside threads to feed a 1" line through and shorten overall length by 2". Unit was sealed inside With gasket. Outside a small bead of jb weld clay to ensure a 100% seal. A 1" ball valve was used to enable me to shut it down for Maintenance and 1 " nylon flexible hose was used to reduce friction loss and reduce noise.
The return pump is a 350 gph mag drive with 1/2" output so I was able to tie in the original fitting of the biocube return line easily.
1/2" nylon braided line was used from the pump right to dt return using original elbow.
1" Durso stand pipe was made for the inside of chamber #3
I also had to customize this as well by cutting the 2 90 degree fittings and rejoining them so the assembly fits easily with room to play.
It runs very effectively and is very quiet.
