Looking good! What did you use for a sump? Is it a cube as well? Is it a straight sump or is part of it a refugium?

Holey wow that's some piping, and I thought the plumbing on my cube was akin to a distillery, it's nothing compared to that monstrous closed loop.

Although .. one question ... Is that a check valve on the closed loop intake ??????

Not a check valve, There is a ball valve on the closed loop intake just as a precausion. You never know when you will have to take out the pump. Don't want to drain the tank on the floor. :-)

Default standpipe

Yo snoop
thats some good thinking on the plumbing. good job. Whats your approx GPH into your tank from the return pump? I'm interested to know how your double standpipes will handle the gph cuz I'm looking to do the same kinda set up on my next tank. I believe they are 1 1/4" on the outside and 1" on the inside?
