ok filled the tank with water and onle 1 leak!?!?!?! it was a union missing a rubber oring i found it on the floor and replaced it and no more leak
 Now problem #1 my overflow is too small for a herbie in 1 1/2  so im gonna try 1 1/4 and if that wont fit im going to use 1" any suggestions are welcome. problem # 2 now i know this was going to happen so i didnt glue the drain line in.  Whats the best way to make it quiet and less splashing? put a 90 half in the water or run the plumbing down to the bottom on the sump?

Just run the piping into the water. I liked to have it close to the bottom and a ninety so the water would swirl keeping debris up so it would make it to the filter socks
