Correct fuge in the middle at 20" the return on the left around 12". I decided to go with gray glass to help keep any light out of the return and skimmer chambers. I plan on running a 6" DSb and macro in the fuge no lr.

I finished my sump today.

Durso, bean, stockman herbie

It does look very clean from the back. Very nice setup. What drain system are you going to run?

Very cool....I take it you didn't actually have a leak in the return plumbing...... I don't think so Shawn , not a drop. I think what happened was since I had all the valves closed on the return line I didn't have the first union tightened down which made water "squirt" all over the pipes. I...

Looks good I wouldn't use the lock line unless you get the ones from ocean motion which are the only 1" around I believe. Also I think you'll find that your return flow will slow down considerably when the tank is full. Without looking did you still use a 2" intake? I'm planning on leaving my...

Looks great! Very clean. I'm curious how much movement you get from your returns. Are you using 4 returns on the dart?

Thanks guys. Shawn I checked the open channel not by choice but by accident. It's pretty cool. Haven't checked the emergency yet but I will. My next step is getting the baffles cut and glued for the sump. I was surprised that my pump didn't make a lot of current inside the sump. The pump does...

I did a full water test and everything looked great. The bean overflow is very quiet I still need to fine tune it but see the potential There was an occasional flush (nothing crazy just a lil one) but I believe that is from the pipe too far in the sump. I also didn't drill any holes in the...

If you look at the return pump, just above the union there are 2 45s. That is where I noticed a leak. Hopefully this weekend I can get inside and filled up so I can do a leak check.

Im glued well at least my return and manifold is. The closed loop is not done until it gets moved inside. Well I did a partial water test today. I realized that my tank is on a pretty large pitch since its in the garage and I forgot to remove the 2x4s under the stand so I just filled it about...

Yup. I'm very close to a water test. Just need to glue the return and plug the CL for a water test.

I got a lot done with plumbing tonight. Some is dry fitted and some glued like the manifold. The return is just about done all I need to do is glue. I put unions on all my CL returns so I can take it apart for any reason. The one bad thing is the tank will come out 9 additional inches in width...

Perfect thanks Shawn

I just realized I screwed up with my CL intake. The bulkhead I bought was only1.5". I'm not sure exactly what the dimensions are of the hole but it looks like a lil under 2-3/4". I'm trying to see what the install hole size is for a 2" bulkhead. If the hole isn't big enough is it safe to drill...

Thanks. I'm really trying to build to the 5-3 rule and the more I look at it I'm not sure if I'm accomplishing that? What do you think? I think I have it with the height but nothing is really crossing over the "center" line when looking at length. I haven't figured out how I will connect them...

I forgot I did some mock ups for my aquascaping take a look The ruler is 12" just as a guide

Based on the pic the 2" intake has the down turned 90. I don't want to do this and it is just resting on the bulk head for the closed loop. Now the return line that is resting on the second union ball valve would connect to a T that you can barely see. It is all dry fitted and not cut perfect...

Just caught a glimpse, but only need 1 gate valve on the overflow system......the other 2 won't be used or needed......Hopefully not already glued into place and can be returned......I do like the cutouts in the stand bringing the lines down to the sump...... Shawn I need to be able to tear down...
