Sump v3.0 is awesome!

Your persistence definitely paid off.

Whole macrel that sump got full fast! Looking good dude! Can't wait to see it all wet!

Thanks all.
Ya it sure got crowded fast in there. I couldn't imagine using something smaller.
The loom is supposed to block light so I don't have to clean out the hoses. Only time will tell.

How much gap is there between the loomed hoses and the filter sock holder? That could be a pain in the neck to change them when you have do it every3 days or so.

you could hang the reactors on the outside of the sump to the right-ish side if you find it a pain to get the socks out....

Thanks for the thoughts. This is why I'm glad it worked out that the manifold outlets ended up right in the middle.

There's about 4" clearance

I don't want to take a chance on an external leak

If it becomes a pain in the but, I can put the reactors in the return area. Plus, if in the future I buy something like an Alpha 170, that's where they will have to go.
To start with, I wanted them out of the way of the pumps but I most likely will put them there anyway. It'll look tidier with shorter hoses and I'll only have one hose to work around.
Then I would route the chiller hose behind the skimmer so I can see better what's going on there.
