![]() Looking good Tony. I think we already discussed this earlier: The skimmer emptying into a filter sock is a great idea, but you're going to get ****y having to change the sock every day or two. In hind sight I would have set mine up with a way bigger sock than the 4" one. I"m lucky to get two days before changing.

![]() It's looking good Tony. Did the holes line up for the bulk heads, or did you have to redo some of your plumbing? When do we get to see water in that bad boy?

![]() Filling as we speak.
![]() The sump return hole worked out perfect. The skimmer feed hole was something I had to scratch my head on for a bit but I think what I've done will work out. There are two 90's on the suction side, but it's 1.5" pipe for a 3/4" input so hopefully the pump will not notice a perceivable restriction. Gonna find out tonight how well it works once the sump is full enough to do a wet test of the plumbing!!
