It is a strange design. The dude I got the sump from 7 years ago set it up like that. We debated changing it today. But figured if it ain't broke don't fix it. We moved the sump out from under the stand to make it easy to do maintenance. That and all the leaks from my bad plumbing over the years.

Nice... looks like an evil scientist's lab, complete with a nice bubbling sound in the background!

Phosphate is .03 for probably the first time ever. I guess a 200 gallon plus water change can do that. Cal 400 alk is 7.3. Looking good so far. Been reading up on dosing pumps. Leaning towards two Bulk reef supply dosing pumps.
Thank god for the waste collection auto shut off on my reef octopus skimmer. This morning when I got up it was full of water. That would have been a mess.

For those that use dosing pumps I'm trying to understand how this all works. I've been watching the bulk reef suppy videos and using the calculator they have on the website.
For Calcium
Total water volume 460 Gallons
Current value 400 ppm
Desired value 420 ppm
NEED: Need: 921.1 ml
31.1 fl oz
184.2 tsp
How long do you let the pump run to dose this much? Does this seem right?

Ed, for the initial dose. i would does that manually over 3-4 days (not all at once). And then set the dosers for maintenace based on your daily consumption
