Id suggest makeing your pump chamber larger.
When you turn the pump on youll loose all the water that goes into the plumbing from that chamber.
Along with your daily evaporation. So unless your planning on a auto top off.
You'll end up having to top it off all the time.

I agree. Even with auto top-up, I am a firm believer in a large pump reservoir for peace of mind.

It's definitely going to be bigger. Guy that did the drawing for me was working off a napkin. Number was 16 inches out for a volume close to 10g
