Right not posted anywhere at all for the past few weeks so thought i had better show my face...lol
Sump update:
3hours mission last night, kind of the thing you wished you hadn't started at 8pm at night.. :41:..but end result is the new sump installed subject to few bits of tidying up...was going to take progress photos, took one but that was it. Will take some piccies tonight.
Also new sump holds more than i thought?

??, and had drained the old sump out in to containers and had a fresh 12l batch made up (65litres in total).....had to make a emergency 20ltrs on top and could still do with a further 5odd litres...as the water level is less than an inch from the top of the return pump
