Yep 8 T5's are pretty bright, hard to tell still without anything in the tank but it looks pretty good, just have the stock current-usa bulbs right now(pretty low on the par scale)
Water test completed, a couple plumbing leaks but nothing major. Considering throwing in a SCWD on my returns.
Tested the skimmer with water and vinegar, I am surprised at how quiet the bubble magus is...almost silent.
Seems like one 3/4 overflow drain is just barely enough, didn't have to close the gate very much to get at a good level.
Also tested the emergency overflow and everything seems to be in order.
Time to start filling with RO! (I can tell...my fish are getting excited)
