So, this satellite tank is going to run off of my RS170 manifold and return to the sump. Can you guess what it is going in it? @ISpeakForTheSeas
BTW drilling 1/8" glass (maybe) is not for the faint of heart...

And here is a hint...
This was a hide tide rescue inside the breakwater.

I don‘t know, but how does the tie in work? Does it have its own return pump in the sump and is that some sort of overflow on the left?
I have a manifold I built off of the return pump that runs to the chiller (another clue) and I have two other ports. This will use one of those ports that is controlled by a gate valve and the return from the satellite tank just goes back to the sump. My main tank has a pretty high flow and this will be a low flow tank.

Haha, my first thought was a nem of some kind, but I knew that was wrong with the transparent blob, so I was going to guess a jellyfish of some variety - wouldn't have been able to guess a Red-Eyed Medusa (Polyorchis pencillatus) from the first pic though. Super cool find!

You are correct sir!
