Looking good to me :D

Cool!! Thanks! I'm excited to start filling it with water. Do I need to apply pvc cement to connecting parts that are going to be inside the fish tank?

Not really since if it leaks it's just going back in the tank anyhow :)

OK. That's what I thought. I was just worried that pressure might force the parts to fall off.

If it's just the return from your sump it shouldn't really have that much pressure. On my rebie return the my overflow I just have the fittings pushed together with no glue, the drip a little bit and get salt creep but have not had any major issues with not using glue.

If you don't already have it there is a different cement for the flex connections. I don't know if it's 100% necessary maybe some one else here knows.

ya i just started gluing fittings where the part of the pipes out of the water and once again for the elbows submerged in the tank, just pushed them together tightly, nice tank btw!

Yes, that is the one I have. It's called PVC Flex Cement. The person I spoke with at Western Pumps says I should just use the Flex Cement for both flex to pvc connections and pvc to pvc connections. He says they are both the same except the Flex Cement allows a little flexibility if your connections where to shift a bit.

I started filling my tank. I have about 1/4 tank of water. Every time i walk by, the vibration ripples the water (Like in Jurassic Park). If I walk harder, the water moves even more. I never noticed this in my old tank. I have hardwood floors. There is plywood and hard foam between the tank and metal stand. There is still construction going on around my area as well. Should I be concerned about the vibrations for both tank stability and future inhabitants.

Thanks

I would suspect that once the tank is full you wouldn't notice that. So long as you have done your homework on whether your floor is capable of holding weight and tank is level...you shouldn't have any issues. Well maybe just one issue...How soon can I put fish in?:lol:
