Looks good so far. If you have problems with your drains it's likely a result from the pipes being submerged all the way in the sump. This tends to cause an airlock or something that prevents the drains from flowing properly. Also there is a steel screw under the white cap in the ball valve handle, not sure if you know that or not.

Now issues with the flow what so ever, have to tune in my durso a little but other then that works great. Once I figure out how to upload a vid to utube I will post link.

Default Light's Arrived Today!!!!

So finally my light's arrived today by UPS. And to my amazement there was no issues on delivery for the first time, 1 out of 15 packages. The light's are Odyssea 48" 4 x 54W T5HO, with 4 LED moon light's per fixture, 3 power cords & 3 switch's. They came with 2 Odyssea 12,000K & 2 Odyssea Actinic's per fixture. I will be changing out most of the bulbs so if anyone has some gently used bulb's they would be willing to lend or give me to help me decide what knid of bulbs i want that would be awesome.

I am thinking that I would like to use 2 - Actinic+, 2 - 10,000K, 2 - 12,000K & 2 - 14,000k per side.
