Makin' some headway now. Got the plumbing to the sump tested and re-done. Had water running through the DT for the first time.
Think I'm happy with the overflow levels and such. Still can't adjust the sump level until all the rest of the gear is plumbed in, but it's a start.
I added an extra return valve for feeding/pictures and it's working out great.
I've started to play with the Herbie overflow levels, and think I'm happy with where the levels are to start with. I have a Gate Valve that I haven't used yet on the return line, a True Union Ball valve on the bypass and a Ball valve for a shut-off. I think this will cover it.
The main drain inside the overflow is about 6" tall with a 3/4" strainer on top of it and the emergency is about 2-1/4" from the DT level, minus the strainer. It's all good for now with the testing.
Got the light mounted and holeeeeeeee is it ever briiiiigggghhhhttttttt.
And right here I'll give a shout out to viper901 for sellin' me such a great light
Good thing I modded it.

If I could not control the 8 bulbs there might be an issue
I changed the eggcrate overflow thingy and though you all might like to see this. There's no noise as it's above the water line.
More pictures to come when I plumb the next circuit.
This will involve the chiller, uv, chaeto and 2 reactors.
