Today I fill the heffer with water. My back and shoulders hate me already.

ha ha thanks BUUUUUT
I've never had so many freaking problems with plumbing in the early stages of a tank as I have with this one. Got the tank filled to the bulkheads for the closed loop (approx 30 gallons)...no leaks in the bulkeads, but leaks in some plumbing going down towards the return pump...great...so now I have to let them drip out (closed off the ball valves, so no extra water will get into the lines...but have to wait) I could have SWORN I glued everything. But I really can't risk this thing springing a leak when nobody is at the shop...solution? Silicone ever g'darned piece of plumbing...I hope I can get it all done and set before rockwork gets here.

Seriously Randi ... have you even READ through my 280g journal? Everything being relative your tank is going up like a dream. Change the title to this already would you! SOME of us with less fortune are starting to feel bad about their own bad luck, problem riddled builds. I'm not naming names to protect their identities and I'm telling you I'm not crying IT'S JUST SOMETHING IN MY EYE!!!!
