Curious, where did you learn about plumbing and have any good sources where I can learn more?

what did you have in mind? many have suggested acetone or clear pvc primer.. cleaner...
a very clean setup brother!
On the primer. You could have primed all those joints at once and then come back and glued them all. Sometimes helps as bit as you can ensure the coverage and watch the drips.

I use the above method instead of glueing anything to an expensive bulkhead. Than the bulkhead can be used for other configurations or ideas.
Also sometimes a faulty bulkhead can be purchased, and have future slow leaks from the bulkhead coming apart at the seams.
Also if you have a problem in the above area you'll have to cut the PVC pipe and use a new bulkhead and union.
You can buy a flat aquarium bulkhead wrench on line
GREAT SUMP JOB,
Thanks for listening to my little opinion

My original drain had a long down pipe for the same reason (to minimize detritus build up in the first chamber), but I had an issue with air getting trapped in the pipe when power would resume after a power failure. Air would fill the pipe when flow stopped, and when it resumed, the flow could not push the air out the bottom of the pipe. Hopefully this won’t be an issue for you since you used 1” pipe (I had the problem using ½”).
Anywho, I can’t wait to see it running. Thanks CJ!
1) Put a plastic bulkhead strainer on the main drain. You will need a 1" coupler and the strainer can be found on Bulk Reef Supply. I use slip x slip and do NOT glue it in. However, if you can't remove it easily it may be a hindrance. The last thing you want is a snail or fish getting in the overflow box and going down the main drain. The strainer helps this
2) A silicone mat under your return pump will cut down vibrations a ton. Well worth the small investment!
Large black man shoves his pipe into a tight space.
Would have got more hits.
That eurobrace and over flow never crossed my mind, I'd wouldn't be able to get my arms in there either.
it going to be beautifull!
you gonna win a reward with a sump!
