Picked these up at BBB for $4.99 each. Velcro over sump!

No I don’t. Just saw them at Bed Bath and Beyond while walking thru.

Neat idea! They work great! Just be careful of the Velcro and the adhesive, time works on them. You may want screw them to the upper surface (assuming not the bottom of the tank) or move them to the sides (not ideal), but you don't want to check their salt water compatibility in your sump.

Thanks Gary, I agree that I don't trust Velcro long term.  I will see how they hold up for a bit then mount with a stainless screw
