Water check

Ran into some problems as I expected.

1- the weir could not keep up with the return pump. I was able to drill with the dremel into each notch to create some depth. Not exactly as prestine as before but adequate. Before and after pic demonstrate water line at the weir.

2- The return pump also didn't have the water movement I was hoping for at full power, and I still need it to move water through my UV light and any media reactors. This will have to be fixed. And the weir likely fixed further.

3- I was hoping for dead silent. The bean animal is dead silent but there is some noise as water moves through the sump, splashes into my filter socks.

4- Finally I was able to modify the bean a bit. I rotated the second drain upward to allow a higher water line in the internal overflow box to prevent any noise as water drained through the weir.
