    Sam, how big should the return compartment be? My plans call for a 5.5 inch area. The only thing I am nervous about is the water not being able to move from one end to the other fast enough.

    I have never designed a sump before, so some input would be welcomed.

    The less water the return compartment holds, the more often you will have to top off. Im not sure how big you need to go with that size pump.
