No rocks yet my darling! I have the sand to add in (HOPEFULLY) later this evening assuming my tank has cleared up. I'm in no rush to add it yet, tho I was told to add all the rock at once? instead of adding 20 lbs there, and 15 lbs there and so on. Thoughts?

One of the guys here on the forum has been absolutely amazing in guiding me and helping me set this tank up.

From what i can see the drains should go in to the black cylinder, water fills up and than overflows into the socks. This will help in two area's, number one it should make the sump much quieter, number two there will be nothing in the way of pulling out the filter socks for cleaning.
thanks Dave

Removing the socks for cleaning is actually very easy. There is a great connection, which isn't visible in the picture that allows me to disconnect the PVC that connects to the socks.
