Well she's all set up now. Still tweaking on the max water height in the sump, it way change a bit lower once I get the loc line for the return so it doesn't drain much if the pump turns off. "All three holes are on the same height"

Overflows are a bit loud, I'll see what I can do to make them less noisy.

I'm happy I got it all set up. I WILL UPLOAD A VIDEO TOMORROW ON THE WHOLE SETUP, SPECS Ect...

Overflow is very noisy, not sure how to make it more quite

You need to use a gate or ball valve. To get a full syphon.

^ +1. What type of overflow did you end up going with into the sump? Definitely need to restrict to create the siphon. I would go with a gate valve in this case.

Just two holes in the back of the tank haha. I think I know how to fix it. Just need to add two 90 degree elbows to make it a bit lower. Should also creat a siphone

Got some fish from my pond to start cycling the tank. At least the raccoon won't get them
