Before I glue it up

[check45]

What do you guys think? Anything you would do differently? The tank is in my office and the refugium and sump are in the office closet.
Tank is 37 gallon column
Refugium 20 gallon acrylic tank
Sump is a 10 gallon
seaclone skimmer
2 hydor 850 powerheads
Taotronic 120 dimmable led fixture
360 gph return pump

Do you think I need to glue the standpipe into the bulkhead? It fits tight. I turned the drain into the refugium up to prevent blowing sand around







I'm not using a checkvalve. I'll keep one return pipe high enough to prevent syphon.










It will be a lot easier to make changes now.

Two things I see, your first tank will that be the Refuge? If so I wouldn't have sand in it just rocks and macro and I would lose the last elbow I don't see that help may even cause problems. Also the over flow in your DT does it flow in from the top? It looks very close to the top of the tank, maybe you can cut slots in the side of the over flow. As Bob says just my two cents. Looks like a very clean set up. One more thing you may want to add disconnects from the drain and the supply so if you ever want to move the tank.

No you don't have to glue the stand pipe. Just stick it in. I would also leave the two elbows on the drain coming into the fuge un glued as well in case you want to take them off or turn them a different way.
