Tested a few days later with a salifert kit and it read 0.5 phosphate. Let it go two more days and same reading. Dosed 5 mil of lanthanum chloride and tested this morning. Down to 0.1
My new rodi tub. I grabbed a humidifier float for a shutoff.
Here is the tank in place and the plumbing done. The wife didn’t want me to drill it so I have an auto top off relay with two floats to turn the pump and skimmer off so they don’t run dry incase the overflow stops.

Here is the the sump I made. It’s a 29 gallon tank. It’s a bit tall but I can get everything out without removing it. The center brace is removable on the stand. I went with 1 1/4” unions and valve with bushings to keep the id the same as the 1” pipe. The skimmer section was initially made for a bubble curve skimmer which had an 11” max water depth. I decided to go with a reef octopus. The center chamber is for my extra rock and cheato. Not sure if you can see the cheap work light clamped to the tank. I guess now it’s time to start making lots of water
