Crussett's 120g build

Not much for updates as I've had to split my spare time between working on the nursery and the new tank. I've had a few problems with the plumbing.

1. The drains would not siphon, they would just drain very very slowly. I did a little research and found that others had the same problem when their drains went too far under the water in the sump. I cut all the drains out as I had glued them all. I then shortened them to be around 1-2 inches under the water. I then mocked them back up and tested and the siphon worked great! I also added in unions to all 3 drains to make them easy to remove if I ever need to.

2. There was a leak in the return plumbing after I glued everything. I ended up having to cut out the section that had all the plumbing going over to the fuge and redo it. Once it was redone I added 2 unions to make it easier to remove.

Tonight I re-glued everything but it is all still curing. Tomorrow night we have prenatal class, so Tuesday night I will do another test to ensure everything is good. I'm hoping to get all the sand rinsed this week as well start making some salt water so I can add the sand and aquascape this weekend

Here is a pic I took of the tank tonight with the 3 actinic and 1 fiji purple turned on.
