    Much progress today, but an unplanned trip to the hardware store caused us to miss getting everything plumbed by about an hour.

    Here is the drain from the SPS tank.

    Here is the feed. I bought a Sea Swirl 1.5" and plumbed it in. The SPS tank is ready to go!

    Here is the feed to the other tank. It's got four inputs so I bought a 4-way splitter.

    Here are the four bulkheads getting put in on the non-SPS tank. We water tested the SPS bulkheads, but didn't have time for these. Next time...

    Here is the 1lb burger my friend Tighe (the friend helping me with the tank) ate yesterday at Val's. No reason to put this in other than it's an impressive burger.

    Val's in Hayward? That's a heart attack between two buns! If you like burgers for flavor and volume, try Barney's on Solano in Albany ;)
