    Marc- should you know thats the test for how much the sump can take. He wants to make sure it never floods!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I'm just testing the sump for potential leaks or bowing as I made it myself. Still wondering if I should add some bracing for it or not as I think the partitions work the same as braces...
    Also once plumbing is finished and I turn on the pumps some of the water will be used to fill the remaining half inch of the tank...
    Accoding to my claculations sump should take all draining water from teh tank and fishroom with no issues. We'll see once its running...

    Finished pumps external returns to the tank.
    2x1" tubes with locline for easier flow direction.


    Had them parallel to each other so their less cvisible when looking at the tank from the front.
