Scott's 270g aka Project Mayhem

[Scythanith]

Thanks Steve, but 9g is still ~2 plus gallons short of accomplishing my goals. I'd rather not spend all the time hacking up the sump, adding height to the emergency overflow, putting snorkels on the pump, etc. That results in me losing my refugium, or more appropriately my water change section. If the water level is already as low as it can be in the pump chamber then I won't be able to set up the water change programming.

Honestly I think a new sump is better than any other option.
