Tank is up and running!!!
There were a couple of leaks but just on the threaded joints with teflon tape. Glued joints all seem good.
I was quite surprised at the level of evaporation after the first full day of running the system. Almost 8 litres over 24hrs. The sump compartment that my return pump is in will go dry within 2 days at that rate so I will be needing to get an ATO working right away. I'd say that even after a day and a half the pump would start sucking air.
Also I added the filter socks to the sump and even though they were cleaned first they made the skimmer go crazy. Gonna run them through another cycle in the washer before trying them again.
