It looks like you might have as much as 130 gallons of water out in the system at any given time. How are you handling that much water. The sump photo looks like the tank is almost empty. what size is the FT? The sump looks like it can hold up to 45 gallons. I am guessing that you might be sucking that sump dry all the time. I am new at this but my math is telling me that E&F should work better if you have 10 times the water the GBs need. CF can be 1:1 or even less.
What are you seeing so far?
