Has anyone experience mold in their sump? I have what looks like mold growing above the water line and below the top edge in the fuge section of my sump. Fuge is not setup yet and normally has a lid as well.

Mold.
I get a little in the corners or upper walls of my sump from time to time. And also a little around the edges of the underside of my tank lid.
To be expected I suppose ... where there is lingering dampness there is eventually bound to be mold. If it bothers you, a small fan may help to remove lingering humid air and prevent it. Other than that, an occasional wipe down if it gets to annoying. I doubt it'll be harmful to the aquarium.
(FWIW, I don't know of any sponge that survives when exposed to air.)

Happy to help, Ask away.
Wonder how this could effect our health over long periods of time.

I read that can get you sick too, and that it should not be left there to collect. Routine maintenance is advised to keep this problem from happening.Probably no worse than the pink mold in every ice vending machine
