I don't waste salt on a leak / run test & not really trying to fast pace the build as there is so much more to this build then just the 300 gal tank.

looking good buddy, you must be nervous as hell with that much water. Hope it all is good and you dont end up with a mess. Fingers crossed for ya bro!

Yea it was a cool build to see in person when I picked up that bulkhead. My GF was jealous she didn't get to check it out haha. It's very well designed and built system. Wish I had those building skills! When I upgrade to a 1-300 gal tank I'll be going to a store lol.

Showed your tank filling to my niece she wanted to know if you could swim in it gotta love the minds of kids

Well it's full & flowing at half the pump volume because I'm waiting for a replacement power supply for one of my WaveLine DC1000. ZERO plumbing leaks so I'm very very happy with that but I am going to have to add a balancing line to join the 2 return side together, not a big deal.
