Made a little more progress last night.
My custom sump from Sapphire Aquatics is in.
I was able to plumb the two 1" drain lines, "Herbie" style. One is 100% drain with a standpipe fully submerged under water in the overflow with a gate valve to control flow. The second is a 1" emergency drain in case the first starts to clog. It's a really tight fit between the tank bulkheads and the sump bulkheads so I used a combo of hard pvc and flex pvc.
I also removed my recently acquired BRS dual chamber reactor from my old tank and got it installed inside the new stand. Just need to decide on a final resting spot inside the skimmer chamber for the pump that drives it.
Next up... plumbing the return. :cheers2:
