    I got the plumbing parts today so I can do a fresh water run on the tank. I figured that if I can get all the measuring done now that all I had to do was disconnect and put back together once the tank was moved into the room.

    I started with the drain plumbing to the sump. As said before I have 2 two inch drains. The right side is tee'd and reduced to 3/4" feed to the protein skimmer.

    The left side is tee"d and reduced to 1" to feed the refugium.

    Now the problem comes into play.

    Since the stand for the tank will be 42", the makeshift stand in the garage is to short so basically I have to finish the room and then do the test run then. Hopes shot down in a matter of hours.

    Dude I wish. I have to wait now until the tank is in the house. I wanted all the hard stuff done first.

    Yeah I am right there with you. I am taking my time on my project as well. But it is getting closer to being almost done, so I can put it in the house.

    I'd block the stand up in the garage to the correct height and have at it.

    I thought about that initially. I just don't have the manpower now because of the holidays.
