Oh well the sumps ready all bar one elbow

The reason the sumps hard plumbed is also the reason I'm one elbow short

I decided to do a W/C on my 55 gal all going well till the flex hose feeding the sump came out of the sump

Damm thing would not stay in bloody water every where so I grabbed an elbow and shoved it on the end of the runaway hose problem solved
but 1 elbow short

The rear




The siphon feed



inlets are staggered


The return minus one god dammed elbow

Beenleigh, Schhhh not too loud!

During the week I purchased some of them bio balls from guppysaquariumproducts. Now just playing the waiting game...
At least I can start siliconing the panels into sump v2.0
First one let go internally....
