Grout is all done
 I put the tack strips down for the carpet and cut it but it's a little loose so need to do a little adjusting to it. And now for the huge news.......... Tank going into position  And the first jug of water going in   I've got two heaters going right now in it. I bought the wrong bulkheads so need to return those, so water is filled up to the hole in the overflow chamber. Will get new bulkheads tomorrow and start on plumbing. What a relief to be nearly done, just a few small things to finish off. Need to trim around the tank to hide the plywood bottom of the tank. Need to make doors still but those should be quick. My dad also might make me some nice stained glass windows for the doors which would like amazing. Thanks for following me on my reno/tank build.

Need some plumbing advice.
My return is drilled through the overflow box about two inches below the water surface. To prevent siphoning my tank back into the sump I'll drill a hole in the return line in the overflow box just below the surface. I get that, but the one thing that confuses me as I'm filling the tank is should I make sure the return inside the display tank go below the level of the return hole? Otherwise as I'm filling it all the water is just going to go into the sump regardless of siphon break. Everywhere is out of loc line so I have to do it temporarily with pvc and elbows.

 Here's what I mean, if you left it like this with no check valve all the water up to that level will be drained. I'm thinking the line should be curved down to below that level (kinda like a durso) that way the siphon break will prevent water from draining below that level?
