    Is setting up sump rooms what you do for a living? It seems you have thought of EVERYTHING. And I will seriously be PMing you when I end up redoing my sump area.

    No - ha although I have helped a few friends with theirs.

    I just wanted a nice set up and make it as maintenance free as possible. A lot of thought and trial and error went into the build. My first sump set up took up the entire room - I still need to put in an exhaust fan as it gets humid when the boiler kicks in. I will be putting in a 340cfu 6" inline exhaust fan and will also hook that to the apex so it runs a little every hour just to keep the air moving in the room.

    wow, you must have set up one heck of a system to "can't wait to do a water change." :)

    Ha yeah right. Simplicity! Next step is to set it up so it does partial automatic water changes.
