    Is the overflow coming from the left angling up as it travels to the sump? Looks tits otherwise.

    No..i just have it drying more level then it will be just to make sure the glue dries right....i'm actually going to anchor it at a slight slope from the left overflow.

    Try Hellolights.com - Your Aquarium Lighting Superstore! if you can't find any used. I use them and they are great. They are rated 97% reflective.

    Got some more plumbing done...now I just have to go thru the wall (gonna pick up the cutting tool for that tomorrow) in order to finish the plumbing. Next up is baffles in the sump...i wanna do a nice fuge in the center...Any ideas on how I should baffle this thing? Wanna keep it simple yet effective....Also the return line from the pump is the EXACT height of the return lines I have plumbed already so all I need to do for that is straight pipe thru the wall "T" right under the tank and straight to the elbows :)

    Plumbing is pretty much finished...gotta trim back the pipes on the sump side of the tank, then plum it downward. How does it look?

    Plumbing is done...now we wait...let t dry...hopefully no leaks!!! The pipes coming down to the sump end just above the top of the aquarium...think i'm gonna cut some egg-crate to fit the top of the tank, and then cut out hold so filter socks will sit right down it it (with the rims making them hang).....getting close to water time...I'm aiming for this weekend, because the tank hat the sand is coming from is being taken down sometime this week :) Maybe i'll give the guy a holler and tell him i'll bring some buckets for his water too! Still have to baffle the sump!
