Filled the tank with some more water today. It seems to be leveling out very well. I also got the sump finished and put it in the stand. I put the bio balls in a container so cleaning would be easy.

i think you should put a door on that stand.. its will make it even nicer..

Finally filled all the way up, and set the sump up completely.
I test ran the system for a while and everything looks good so far. I will post some pics later of everything running.........

Off to the LFS for some cycling assistance, and some chlorine remover.

Woohoo!!! I'm sure that is a load off of your mind. It's always a huge relief when you see that all your hard work was worth while.

Tank and sump


Sump...operating good so far


I painted the overflow pipe, and spray bars blue....they blend in with the background nicely.

That looks great and that sump has a lot of room for extra goodies. I'm jealous!

I'm sure you have already done this but I wanted to mention it just in case. Have you drilled a syphon break hole in your return line?
