The tank and sump are full of freshwater and have been running all night. So far no leaks
. There is a fair bit of noise which I need to fix. There is a significant trickling sound coming from the water flowing into the overflow as well as the water trickling over into the filter socks. For the filter socks I'm going to get an acrylic cover as there is a bit of splashing as well. I think I might try raising the water level in the overflow a bit which might help.
The lights are not a major brand. I bought them off ebay from a company in Ontario. They were very inexpensive, but I'm hoping do the trick. The package cost around $330 plus tax with free shipping and included ballasts, fixture and bulbs. I'm sure the bulbs aren't great, but I can replace those. Here is a link to the ebay
page.
Here's a couple pics of where things are at. I'm going to start making RO/DI and rinsing sand tomorrow night in hopes of having some water and sand and possibly rock in this weekend.
