A 3/4 inch pipe has a area of about .45 inches. A 1 1/2 pipe has a area of about 1.7 inches. It would take 4 3/4 inch pipes to equal the area of a 1 1/2, plus the friction loss would be much greater...

If you are going to that trouble, I would do a 20 amp circuit with a GFI. That is what I ran for mine. Cheap insurance.

Is your sump acrylic? You should be able to trim some since a sump is not full like a tank. A router is the easiest way. If you trim off much, you could glue on a cross brace near the cut out area.

tank repair

Use a razor blade to remove all of the silicone from the damaged corner. Chean the area and the surrounding silicone with rubbing alcohol. I like to tape the area so the seam has nice straight lines....

sump

It is hard to tell exactly what parts you have. The overflow goes on the back of the tank and needs a line running down to the skimmer comparment. Depending on the size of your return pump, you may...

If in doubt, place the bulkhead a little lower. You can always stick a elbow in the hole and rotate it to adjust the water level. As far as the box, if you have a good fit to the walls, you can C...

Maybe this is why plumbers can charge what they do. It is said that this is the only country in the world where a plumber can become president. That is, if he is willing to take the cut in pay!!!!
