Working on some adjustments to my sump before I put water in the tank and wanting to add a filter roller. Here is my finalized plan - any comments / thoughts / issues you see?
I'm going to re-route the main drain line to bypass the filter sock area and go straight into the filter roller. The backup drain will still feed into the filter sock baskets and I can just manually clean these when needed (although I assume it won't be much). The water will then flow through a baffle to the 2nd compartment which will house the skimmer along with room for a turf algae scrubber when the time is right (either the IceCap pro which sits inside the sump, or the ebay algae scrubber which seems to get some good reviews and just hangs on the sump. From here the water fill flow through a baffle and into the final compartment which houses the return pump (and ato sensor) and pumps back into the tank. (Note - the mockup below IS drawn to scale with actual measurements of the sump and equipment also, the heaters will be in the 2nd compartment with the skimmer since that has the most room on the glass to be mounted).
Am I missing anything? Anything to be aware of?
Thanks in advance - so much I've learned already and looking forward to learning more.
