Say hello to sleepy plugs little friend! Big shout out to Jean-francois at Marinetech Inc., Michael at AquaDigital and Colby at Bayside Corals for bringing it all together!





And some more goodies showed up today!



There is a crap load of sensors and wiring to do now! I am fighting with one little hiccup. One of my overflow return pipes is ~11/32" too low and ~1/8" too short. I can't just move the sump closer since the second line is in a perfect location already. I will either: a) cut out the 45 elbow and move it back ~1/2" to gain the 11/32" in height, then add the 11/32" PLUS the 1/8" I am already short OR b) cut out a couple inch section along the middle and use a soft silicone hose to join the two, hoping the hose will allow for the variation.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Nice looking gear bud. If you need to extend your piping a bit why not use a rubber coupling?

I was hoping to avoid it for the simple reason I don't think it looks nice haahaa! I am afraid that even if I cut up what I currently have and try to get it perfect the connections will still be the tiniest bit off and have to use a coupler anyways. I guess it's just personal preference, but I don't want to hum and haw over a simple return pipe either!
