    :) Thanks.

    1000 x yes. I've been watching small bits float around in the tank and when the current switches it just send things crazy inside, by the time it gets used to the new flow it changes up again. Working flawlessly! 100% worth the money doing a closed-loop with SCWD's.

    "...FW storage tank sight glass..." that's a slick idea!

    Looking great!

    Thanks. I think we have a good start. The delay on the sump has really thrown a wrench into things though.

    I got the idea from 3reefer Pastey. :) Great way to keep track of ATO water.

    Superb!

    When the sump is plumbed, you'll be raising the DT water level, right?

    What about those glass tops?

    Awww, shucks. Thanks. :)

    Thanks.

    Yup, one of my 3/4 inch bulkheads on my closed loop is cracked, so once it is replace I will raise it a little more, then once we get the sump in we go to overflow time. :)

    I have the glass tops on now, but I'm thinking about making a screen top. Not sure yet.
