Working on rinsing my sand and then getting it in the tank. Can't believe how long it take to rinse this stuff...half Agra Max select and half Seafloor Special.



In the end I figure that I should have about 1" of sand or a little less.

Trying to get a few more things done. The overflow plumbing is now all dryfit and I will glue tomorrow if I don't spot any more problems (or as long as no-one here does either)


One simple pic. Left is Full Siphon, Right is partial syphon/backup and center is emergency drain.

Well, today I started the process of adding water...YIKES! Talk about stressful. I won't be pushing too much up to the display today as I've found a couple small drips that need to be taken care of first at the sump area.

Here are some much awaited pictures.

Well, after testing my plumbing at the sump, we realized that although brand new, the volute on my Reeflo pump had a huge crack and water was coming out. I also was having a few issues solving the odd drip that was at the bulkhead.


So out came the pump and associated plumbing and in when the other new Reeflo that I had as a backup. No cracks, but we haven't got it wet yet as I had to call it a night for my son's 2nd birthday party. Tomorrow, I will give it another try.

Bummer! Is it still on warranty or are you like me where you buy things too far ahead that by the time you use them they aren't on warranty anymore?
