I don't know if this is appropriate, but I just got a boner looking at your set up.

The leak you have on the threaded drain.... get more teflon tape and re tape it.

It may only leak a little now but with more time it could get worse.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I should clarify - the threaded connection that is leaking is inside the tank - the emergency drain is plumbed to a slip x male thread fitting, which is screwed into the bulkhead. So the leak essentially is within the plumbing, which is by all means fine for now. If it does get worse, then I'll have to wrangle to pipe out, but for now I'll leave it be.

HEHE, I wouldn't say I went that far.... But I was thinking WHAT THE F---!

This is one of the cleanest, most organized setups. Great Work.

Now I am looking at mine and wondering.... do I need to clean things up?

It's so appropriate and you know it.

Please attach the other hoses before firing up them TLF's. This thing's looking slick man! Oh and I'm going to overlook the white pvc in the stand.

Thanks - hopefully it'll look good once I get life in the tank too.

Actually I wanted white PVC in the stand to go with the white interior of the stand - would have been just as easy to do grey, but I wanted the white. Besides, it matches the skimmer. And really, how embarrassing is it when you're sporting grey plumbing with a white skimmer?

Oh good the pump got to you! No problem - glad to hear it fixed your issues!
