Thank you to everyone who has helped me with my sump. Especially Kathyc and WillC! I had my step dad purchase all the plumbing with me. We spent an about 2 hours purchasing supplies and another 3 horus installing the sump. It is loud : / however, after 1 flood, and much money and time, the sump is completely functional. We shut the power off, made adjustments, and now do not have to worry about flooding. The sump fills to the top, but does not overflow. : D It is primarily pvc with about 1 foot of hose. The pvc was secured with teflon tape and pvc cement. The pipes were also cleaned out with cleaning fluid, and then washed out with water several times. There are no leaks : ) The only bad thing is that the sump doesn't fit my bak pack 2 protein skimmer; the water is too low for the skimmer to function. It only has a heater in it. Thanks once again!
