The German instruction isn't better
I know the owner of Panta Rhei and he visit me so he explained to me how it works Remove the cover of the snail guard by four screws. Put pump inside and put cable to the hole between cover and pump guard and put cover with screws back. Now you can connect cover with pump by 3 screws.

each ECM 63 is around 14,500gph. honestly not much info can be found. I decided to get it because I saw one here in LA. It moves amazing amount of water. The person sold me the tank said 1 would be good enough for my tank. 2 at most when I have corals grown in.
Benefits:
-pushes a ton of water with 1 pump
-magnet can be placed anywhere. even inside wet areas like overflow box
-silent operation
-self cleaning
-lot of modes, simulating flash floods, dry/wet seasons, etc.
Con:
-$2400 each with the snail guard...
-not many users here in the US
There are a few videos of the ECM42. the 63 is much stronger

With a MP60 or Gyre, it's more of a straight flow. your fish would swim forward, or it would be blasted back.
With the ECM, (from what I saw) they call it laminar flow. a fish not swimming would be floating up and down like the waves.. more natural.

Here we go. Sump is here. Thanks to John at advanced acrylic.
Sump was divided in 2 for easier fitting. Entire back roll has different sized holes for equipment plumbing. Also built a few controller holders. John will come do all final fixing after
Left sump: 3 sock holder, sock silencer, theiling rollermat section, skimmer section.
Right sump: refugium, biorock box, return section, dry section, uv holder, dosing containers, dosing tubes holders.
The dry section gets no water u less the sump overflows. Act as another 50gal holder. Ill put the calcium reactor and ARID inside.

Why you plan socks and Rollermat? Rollermat is able to admission the hole flyback water?
