You can thank Steve @ RCE for the contents of the package

I am putting the sump back in tonight with my new Reeflo Snapper pump I got before Xmas. This will double my return flow and the only positive thing to come out of the sump rupture.

Funny how that works but unfortunately it has to wait until tomorrow because I used the 2 fitting I needed to put in the new pump on Graham's (othicx's) tank today.

So here is a picture of the temp sump that I threw together for the couple days while I repaired the big acrylic sump.




Had to pick up a couple 1" nipples on Monday so I could put in my new Reeflo Snapper return pump and here is the sump all shinny and clean. I forgot what it looked like at the start.




Skimmers and pellets working like mad.

Got a new waterproof camera for xmas and thought i would try it out. Not the best but still learning how to use it.

Curious as to why you would do this, is there something that you don't like about your sump turnover rate?

I am looking to increase water movement without power heads. Since I have added the loc-lines to my closed loop it has been a big improvement. I have one SPS that I got almost a year ago from lobsterboy and since the closed lo upgrade I have notice more polyp extension and signs of some growth finally.
