Complete sump rebuild
Just spent the better part of two days completely tearing down my sump and rebuilding it. If you are thinking it will be an easy job, take it from me...it isn't! Only complicated by the fact that I had to do it "in stand" because of my DT placement I couldn't fully remove my sump. Cheap ball valve sprang a leak, so I decided it was time to tear it all out and do it right this go around...needless to say, I'm tired, my wife is ill, and our house smells like a boat dock...BUT, the sump and electrical are redone!

Yeah it can be a pain in the butt redoing plumbing under the tank. Especially if you have little room to work with and can't take the sump out. Glad everything turned out good. Cheers.

Easy only if you leave yourself enough room to work under a stand
 But then again not many people in this hobby have a 8'-0" long x 3'-0" wide x 3'-0" high stand to work in

That support brace is insane. Makes me extremely glad to have a cube with an open front. Wow.
