    Thanks Chris!

    I ordered an all plastic gate valve yesterday to test, it should be here on Tuesday. I saw the Bulk Reef Supply valves, the are 20 bucks. I found the same exact valve on amazon for 10, it's all plastic and drinking water grade.

    I'll post the valve I found when it comes in.

    Thanks, everything might be put on hold until I figure out what is going on with my corals.

    More issues, amazon can't seem to ship the right check valve. I have received 2 1" valves already when I'm suppose to receive 3/4" valves.

    Hopefully I'll have my valve before Friday so I can plan out the plumbing.

    So today (Wednesday) I am heading up north to see Norg. We plan to build the tower section to house the two reactors, skimmer and main pump.

    I'm going to attempt to make a time lapse video of the entire build, this will be my first attempt. Wish me luck.

    He needs it, Chris told me the other day he might scrap this project because... quote, "Plummingz is too hard for me dawg."

    Thanks man :) I hope they stopped and really looked at the part this time and sent the right one. I'd like to put the skimmer online by Sunday and let it break in for the next 4 weeks.

    Haha, sounds like this guy I know. He has everything ready to go for a ATO but he is to lazy to set it up. Such an epic fail!!
