Need some advice. I have cut 2 330gal totes so that I have a 300 gal FT with 2 14" deep GBs (as you suggested). I also have a barrel (55 gal or so) that I'm thinking of using for sump (I am thinking about burying it). I know you advise a bigger sump, but I just don't have room. I have ordered a 1100 gph pump. Now that I'm laying it out, I am stumped. Need advice on the configuration. I know the sump is the low point in the system. Do the GBs drain into the sump? If the GBs are higher than the FT, how does the water get from the FT to the GBs? It looks like your GBs are lower than the FT. Is that better? I really don't want two pumps working. What if the power fails?
I like the siphon idea, but they are kind of expensive. Can I make my own siphons? Any ideas. Also, I have ordered an assortment of Uniseals. What the heck is that huge, S-shaped pipe for?
hi neck been watching your photos and realize you do have a sump tank and also have available space in the ground to add one. Are you thing about adding one? i like your nft idea it cool.
.
hey nick what you want to ask about the nft system? also thank for the add.
Hey Nick, As to the sump inflow I just ran it underground and thru the top side (just below the top) and extended it into the sump a foot. Nothing special:
Hey Nick, welcome aboard and may the fun begin
