I tested this system by filling it with salt water and crossing fingers. Worked like a charm :)

I tested it with tap water like a month ago, then added some heat and vinegar, where have you been?... oh wait, you've got the ebola... so I guess I'll let it slide :)

Don't mind me. I'm the impatient type. I had rocks and water in before the overflows were attached. And the whole tank was running across the room from where it was going. Had to drain and drag to get it in place :)

Yeah... that totally wouldn't slide with my wife.

I'm lucky, my wife is almost as bad as me, and a lot more patient. She needs that around here lol

Yup, I'm sure I've missed lots on the Ol' Canreef lately what with my H1N5.4v2.3, combined with the rest of the chicken/pig/airplane modified stuff. Honestly, I've had the flu over the years, but this is the worst ever since I was a kid
So I didn't think you'd tested as I don't see your plumbing completed yet

Brad gets away with all kinds of things and his tank forgives him ... kinda like a push ... so he can rib the rest of us on and watch our mistakes
Oh wait, that's not true lately. NM

That's the old Brad. The new Brad kills everything and makes a mess. Trying to get old Brad back :)

So I broke down (I blame Brad and Greg) and went to J&L for the last few items. Installed the Apex PM2, and all the final plumbing bits.
Just waiting on J&L in regards to bringing in some substrate and Best Buy to deliver the WiFi module.
Obviously those last two items are not needed to start the RO/DI, however the rockwork is.
The centre brace is in the way of dropping the completed structure into the tank, so it needs to be built 'in tank'. I'd rather not do that underwater.
Hung one of the Kessils just to see what it looked like.
Dirty dirty glass.
