Thanks Trevor, it's surprising how much silicone you can waste building a tank this size.

Seriously, you're going to love the control of flow to different parts of your tank.
How do you remove the filter socks for cleaning?
Being a welder you have to be able to do piping so it comes in handly.

The last piece of pipe on the OF is in glued in, just turn off the flow, pull out the down tube & pull out the filter sock.
