[Reeferer]

lookin good. i like the new sump setup

 

[JohnK]

Looks good.

It's hard to tell from the pics, is there a strainer on the bulkhead draining the ref to the sump?

If not, I would strongly suggest adding something to prevent snails, hunks of macro, or anything else from plugging the hole and causing a flood.

thanks. it needed it badly

Much cleaner. I would also suggest a gate valve mod for the skimmer. Makes it much quieter and makes for easy adjustment.
