Currently cutting and fitting manifold. Pics will be up tonight or else!

(EDIT: Well that was a crappy 1200 post....it should have been something histerically sarcastic or whatever...not "currently cutting and fitting manifold" ...booooooo that post)

so until I can test with water I'll leave the plumbing the way I've designed it, but I won't glue anything in case I need to add a ball valve or something to controll the flow, but I don't think I will...note to self. Measure TWICE, cut ONCE...

no need to really "drain" anything since it's an AIO. There's a false wall that runs one of the short sides of the tank and should handle the flow. I don't plan on there being much of a drop, just a spot to keep the pump separate from the fish. Just a big way of getting lots of flow without two powerheads. Yeah, there's less display volume, but I'm fine with that. It's more of a challenge I think

EDIT: PG 2!!! Yezow!
