Guys the tank is up and running. Had to change the sump up a bit. But that's only for a 2-3 months I'm starting a new DIY sump build. Also did my own bubble wand build. K1 is working great. I will add the rays in like 5-7 days. I'll post updates on the tank soon. Still have to do the drip system and 2" inch overall..

Thanx for the help guys.

looks awesome. I'm building a 240 for rays and arrows this fall, and I want the K1 option,
Loving it, simply and works well for when I'm away and wifey needs to babysit :D

i just noticed in the pic above that you have your return facing your intake, i would face it away this way you arent forcing filtered water right to the drains
