    Thanks may, it means a lot coming from you guys :)

    I primed it before I put it in the tank. I used a 5 gallon bucket and sucked water from the bottom to start the siphon.

    Looks great!!!! Very nice!! Make sure you have a perfect seal, any break in the seal will stop the siphon and fail.

    Got the overflow all glued up and tested it and it works and I got my light in today. It looks little but I think it will work just fine. the JBJ Underbody is cool I love the dimmers. how ez they are to adjust.

    I added 3 nozzles. I had drilled the 3 holes for the nozzles and started to put the pvc together and to had forgot to have the overflow in when i putting everything together. I was thinking I would have to redo my overflow I really got lucky and everything fit like a glove.

    Thanks

    Does anyone know what I should clean everything with? I want to clean it good before I start putting anything in it.
