I just read through this whole thread, and all I have to say is...

So how exactly are you plumbing the closed loop again?

Seriously though, I have massive, massive scratch repair envy. I might actually consider getting you to come out to my place at $100/hour to fix the scratches on my tank if they weren't all half way down on the inside. You did a stellar job.

So enough is enough, please no more jokes, mention's, innuendos or references to a closed loop.

UPS showed up today ( a week before expected to boot ) with a box of goodies tuned to a when I seen they sent me threaded gate valves instead of slip. On the up side they sent me 2 extra 1 1/2" valves.

Confused.... Reuse?

I don't plan on adding any thread - slip couplers as that increases the chances of a leak so I'm simply going to remove the threads & make them slips that is unless they are going to ship me new ones for free.

My plan is to have complete control over the flow in every section of the tank.
