I could build the heck out of a tank stand or canopy but all this plumbing stuff is confusing as heck to me. Most guys are very vague and protected about their sump plans( like its the "cadbury" secret or something) and you seem to need a crowbar to get any detailed information out of them.

I don't know what you have heard about CPR overflows. I have one, and doubt that anyone could possibly build one better. The only thing you need to know about plumbing is that poop floats, and everything runs down hill. I would be happy to share my limited knowledge with you, or send you pics of mine as soon as i locate my misplaced camera.
