After months and months and months of planning, I finally carved out the time to upgrade my closed loop and sump. The pics here are of the old setup. The original closed loop had a snapper pump driving two SCWDs that controlled the four loop returns. However, I always had trouble with the SCWDs jamming up, and the barb design of the SCWDs was hard to work with. The new closed loop will replace the SCWDs with an OM Super Squirt.
The old sump was 30 gallons total volume, but its working volume was closer to 12 or so. The return chamber could only hold about 5 gallons, and the refugium was even smaller. The new sump is a 55-gal long aquarium that's been divided into three chambers.
