What type of drain do you have in your overflow?

Great size tank. I can't wait to see what you do with it. What are the dimensions?

The hose into the sump has bubble coming out of it? This is the drain? I wouldn't care about bubbles in the sump. You have a bubble trap in the sump so they don't come up into the DT.
