very nice, I love the concept, keep up the good work, i would love to see the sump for your setup. what is that under the tank?, and I also noticed that you drilled the returns very low, did you manage to put a siphon break on them?

Yes, i did plan on dealing with the siphoning issue if the power ever goes out or pump fails. I installed a check valve that will take care of that issue, however when i received it i noticed it was some type of metal string inside. Due to limited time i just installed but i did by an extra one. I will be upgrading that part later on with a ball check valve, those are a bit more expensive but i think it will work much better in the long run.

I will show you the sump tomorrow with pics. Not showing the stand as its still just bones and exposed.
