Sump cleaning and new setup. I’m running hard pipe tomorrow for the intake to the roller mat and then from the return to the return pump with a manifold for the UV sterilizer. I’ll post more photos when it’s finished.

Todays update. Waiting on one fitting from BRS to finish out the UV piping. The roller mat goes in tomorrow.

Sump transformation is almost complete.

I’ve had the display disconnected from the sump for over a week. Finished installing everything last night and adding water back to the sump and display, couldn’t be happier with the overhaul and custom pipe work. I still have a ton of work to do on the display, I’m currently running without any lighting, I plan on installing a custom light mount to hold two XR15’s, siphoning all the sludge that the copepods and bacteria have been able to create. More updates to come.
