Looks good though
I'm probably going to take out the tee's & replace with elbows once I have secured the lines with some custom brackets on the front 2 sets. The back is just the emergency drain that will remain fully open.

Actually I really enjoy doing this kind of plumbing, making it as clean & sleek as possible. The returns will be a little more of a challenge to get just right.

Hi Greg, it is Steve (not sure what accounts you would remember me from but it is Binarywhisper on Ebay, Steve @ Quinte Reef Services and @ WildExpressions Corals as well). Found the thread and have subscribed.

When a person buys the amount of hardware you did it makes me very curious as to what the heck they are doing. Now that I see it all I can say is that the build looks awesome. I'm a hard core DIY'er myself and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the thread and look forward to following your progress.
