So it looks like my temp sump is doing the job, temp staying @ 82, pellets still tumbling and skimmer skimming. The only thing I am not liking is some small bubbles coming out of the returns.
Hope to have the sump back in tonight, after a cleaning and leak test.

So for everything is holding up, my new Powder Blue is a little stressed and showing some signs of ich and there is no place here to get a cleaner wrasse either. The sump is sitting in the shop 100% full right now and when I get home I will see if it is in one piece, and put it back in.

I am putting the sump back in tonight with my new Reeflo Snapper pump I got before Xmas. This will double my return flow and the only positive thing to come out of the sump rupture.

I am looking to increase water movement without power heads. Since I have added the loc-lines to my closed loop it has been a big improvement. I have one SPS that I got almost a year ago from lobsterboy and since the closed lo upgrade I have notice more polyp extension and signs of some growth finally.

Funny how that works but unfortunately it has to wait until tomorrow because I used the 2 fitting I needed to put in the new pump on Graham's (othicx's) tank today.

So here is a picture of the temp sump that I threw together for the couple days while I repaired the big acrylic sump.
Had to pick up a couple 1" nipples on Monday so I could put in my new Reeflo Snapper return pump and here is the sump all shinny and clean. I forgot what it looked like at the start. Skimmers and pellets working like mad.
