I swung by the office last night and tonight, on my way home from a training seminar I'm in all week. Last night I finished up siliconing the acrylic to the overflows, and then spray bombed the back of the tank in black. Which was about all I was able to do as the unbearable air in the office started making me light headed.

Went back tonight and did all the plumbing for the system. This is the first tank I have plumbed that doesn't have a check valve (could not find one) on the return line, which makes me nervous, but I have done the calculations (4x) and based on my numbers I should have enough room in my sump for the water that will drain back down back down from the Display and Overflows. I basically copied fishytimes plumbing (minus the check valve). I went with Herbie overflows as they have always worked for me in the past. Couple ****ty iphone pics.








Next on the list is to order some 1"x1" - 3/16" tubing and get the light stands welded up and installed on the the stand. This needs to be done before I get any water in the tank so I can still access the back.
