Things are looking really good.
Do you think the heat from the fireplace will affect the tank? For the layered sump, will they overflow from the top down in a cascading effect? In which tank will the return pump be placed?

The heat from the fireplace is directed away from the tank, I've had it on for a while and even the stone around it stays pretty cool. Yes it will cascade downwards but the main return pump will actually be in the top tank. Basically the top sump is the main sump, the other sumps work as a secondary sump system. Top sump will have approx 1000 GPH turn over, a second return pump located in the bottom sump will pump a lower flow rate to the top sump which will overflow and cascade down through the other sumps. I may run into some issues during a power shut down and restart as the water in the top tank will be initially pumped out faster than it's replaced but I should be able to correct it with some programing using the profilux if the volume is too small.

Tagging along, I love the way the fireplace came together. Came out looking sharp man.

A bit of an update, tank is up and running with temporary electrical hook up and light fixture. The sumps are all running, I have a little plumbing to touch up but things are working as expected.
Next will be electrical, fence then the light fixture.      Last edited by sphelps; 06-21-2011 at 04:38 AM.
