Yeah, it does seem a bit cruel, so I'll hook you up tonight with some shots. We were busy doing some actual plumbing last night and I got sidetracked.

Actually all the bulkheads are slip by slip for the tank itself. We're plumbing everything back to the valves, which we'll shut off for the water test. I have one more run to make to the hardware store tonight; there is always a missing piece isn't there?

Cannot wait to see more, this is like a good book you do not want to put down :biggrin:

There was a third set, but I never took a photo.

Some vaguely better photos of the dry rock I received. They really don't accurately represent how porous and great they look.

Awesome build at work here! Loving that plumbing line-up...scary to think what we spend on plumbing.

The plumbing is taking forever; I keep having to glue a few, then leave the room, otherwise its glue a few, and redo them.

We picked up 2/4 buckets of salt for the eventual start up. Going to try the Aqua Vittro this time and see what happens. I like the way the buckets close and open, its much nicer on my damaged shoulder.

I'm also starting to get rolling on having our sump made.
