The first thing you have to do is unhook that canister filter and give it to me for my fresh water tank looks good, I'll try to get in this week and see it in person, I am in the middle of a hockey tourney so not sure of my timeings yet.

Today, I removed the sump and drove it back over to H20 Aquarium>I Had them increase the size of the pump intake hole to 1.5 inch to better accommodate the sequence dart Pump. They did it free of charge, even though it was my fault for not specifying the size,(thanks guys!)I also had to take a trip back to the Irrigation place to change over some fittings, changed my mind a bit on the plumbing.
I had a customer today who had to have my Protein skimmer, so I sold it It was a Pacific coast PS3000. I got few more models coming in so Ill have it replaced soon enough.

Today I finished plumbing the drains I used spa flex on the drain ends so I can easy access them for putting on filter bags. I started the manifold for the supply, it will accommodate loc-line outlets. I am coming out of the pump at 1 1/2 inch's and then going though a Y fitting and into two 1
inch spa flex into the manifold then 3/4 lockline outlets. thats it till Monday.

Hey joe, How do you keep the pipes on the rim like that? Any strapping?

I just cut it tight so it would lie on the inside lip, I'm still thinking on how to fasten it. it sits pretty good maybe just a little Velcro or something, i still have to connect the flex hose to it ill see how it sits then.

Looks good.

For securing the pipe can use the square pads like in post 12 in this thread and zipties. Can use silicone to hold the pads in-place.

What's the eggcrating for?
