You have an awesome setup mate!
I tried to have an initial "talk" to my wife about moving the sump to my garage a while ago, but as soon as I mentioned drilling and pipes through the wall, that discussion was over....

Hey wolf, thanks man. I appreciate that.
Holes in walls are cake to fix. I could see if you were drilling through hardwood floors like me, but walls shouldn't be an issue unless it's brick. You should start by explaining that. The other main selling point is that all your WC and 90 pct of your water work will now be in the garage and not spilling water in the DT room. Drop a 5 gal bucket of water then have the conversation.
Edit: Hrm web site won't let me use droid emoticons. I was trying to put a devil smiley and it's not showing up. Had to use the colon paren to get the one you see now.
...stupid auto correct

Hahaha, believe me, I have already had enough water on the hardwood floor!
The problem is just that, all our walls, external and internal, are all brick and concrete. I have never had such solid walls in a house I've owned before. When I was putting up some wardrobe fittings in my wife's walk-in, it took me 3 hours and 4 drillbits before I had drilled 16 holes in the internal wall
I had to swap my hammer drill, to a rotary hammer drill and monster drillbits before next DIY task.I'm glad the new house is solidly built, but I've now swapped to glue and double sided tape for things that goes up on the walls....

So after 4 months I got my first harvest from my unfollow scrubber.
What I learned is that I initially got slime algae and this prevented the desired algae to grow. I was rinsing the slime out, but it still coated the majority of the surface. I finally googled to what was going on and found out I needed to do a deep clean and scrub it all off. I did and 2 weeks later it is now working as expected.
