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

Cheers Gaz
