Couple more bits and pieces for the system... Will be picking up plumbing parts tomorrow. Hopefully have this thing plumbed by end of the weekend.

And a 2nd 150W Heater.

Well I got a majority of the plumbing done today, and like usual it took more than 1 trip to Lowes for parts.

I don't think I have ever successfully plumbed a system by making only 1 trip to the store for parts.

I say the majority of the plumbing is done, when in fact I should be completely done, but for the 3rd time in a row I've got issue with brand new pumps. Certainly not Concepts fault, but I'm definitely having bad luck with gear lately. This pump was sealed brand new, and yet when I open it up the Union coupling was COMPLETELY different that what it should be. So that has left me hanging with the return portion of the plumbing not done until I can get back in to Concept and hopefully get the right coupling to finish the job.

Couple photos:

And I threw in a few lbs of sand I had left over from the Office tank, just to give it that look of progress.

So whats the plan for inside the tank once its filled? Colourful sticks? Current-swept blobs of waterfilled cells?
