What's plumbers tape
Sorry - upon closer inspection it looks like you've used large hose clamps to hang the ballast. I've always used plumber's tape - which isn't really tape at all ....

1 other thing you can do is extend your return pipe up a little in your sump then if your durso ever gets plugged your return pipe will only return the amount of water above it eliminating overflowing your display tank. Also i used the draw string filter socks, and tol keep the sock from slipping off the pipe I glued Half of an old union on to the end of the pipe to give the sock some thing to hang on to when u tie it on the pipe.

Sounds great will have the sump pulled apart tonight and re sealed and let it dry over night we should be good, not sure on how high the baffles should be, but in order for me to lower the water I need to remove them and cut them down,
