And a few more pics...

Had the wife filling up jugs while I was at work

She's finally up and running. Found one small leak on my drain which is a real p*** off cause I was super careful putting everything together. Tried to seal it with silicone last night but I didn't get it. Any help on how to seal it would be appreciated. Like I said, it's a real slow drip but I'd like a leak free system. Anyway, a few more pics...









Added salt




A few pieces of base rock from Big Al's

Thanks Kelly. Looks like the leak stopped. Maybe the salt crystallized and sealed it up??? Salinity and SG are good, just waiting on a pump so I can fire up the skimmer and add the rest of my rock.

looking reat ,however sorry to bust your bubble the check valve works alot better when its in the vertical flow. the gravity of the water will close it you may get a neg result that way.

As per my plumber friend who did my tank, the check valve should be near the pump, I can't remember why, but there was a reason.

I like the setup though.

Don't matter if it works or not although I really don't think I'll have a problem with the way I have it. There's plenty of room in the sump if it ever fails.
