Icon13 My Sump design, Do you think it will work?

This is my first stab at a sump design I want to build. if you don't see it, it is in the attached .xml file. Please let me know what you thinki. I don't even know what kind of sump this would be classified as. I am new to the hobby.






Why is there never enough time to do it right but always enough time to do it over?

Default Re: My Sump design, Do you think it will work?

Ok heres a quick set up for a sump intake split with a T into each side of the sump right side LR area and left side filter sock or whatever your means of extra filtration and the return pump in the center. I would put a ball valve on the LR side for adjusting the flow you dont want to much flow.
