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.

Looking good of course.

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.
 Need to get me some sand and start working on the rock now I suppose.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!!

Oh .. and .. first leak found. Well ... not "found" exactly, but has made its presence felt. Grrrrrr. I can't tell where it's coming from. It actually looks like it's coming out the side of the union valve that was meant to be the shutoff point for the skimmer feed. The valve itself is shut. Going to go lie on the floor and stare at it some and see what's up with this..
