It has been a busy couple of weeks, but after many trips to the hardware store, it is up and running. It took some time to figure out how to reduce the bubbles in the sump and minimize noise, but it is finally running quietly thanks to some foam panels. I used egg crate to make a lid for the overflow section of the sump so any remaining bubbles do not create an abundance of salt creep. The tank has been running for about a week now and I am impatiently waiting for the cycle to finish. Here are some of the pictures I took along the way.
