After letting the pvc glue and silicone cure I fired up my external overflow last night, then flipped on the return pump. All is well. I have a few questions though.
The biggest one is related to my ATO. Sine the sump is so small and I have about 1000gph going through an 8g sump the water is a little more than turbulent. So I was wondering if I could keep my ato up top where the water is calmer.
The other question I had was about the return pump. Right now I have a ball valve in line. Its turned to about 2/3rds closed. Otherwise the pump pulls more water than the overflow returns. Is that ok?
There are some other little things I'm trying to work out but id like to get this stuff fixed first. I'm at work right now otherwise I would post pics! Can't wait to get this all setup nice and neat. So far I really like it.
