I'm trying to update pics but my phone won't let me upload. Starphire glass is in, too is built. Hope to have water in it in the next week or so!

No, went through a local auto glass joint here. Wish i woulda known someone with some for sale...stuffs expensive!!
Thanks for the pic DB, I have to reconfigure some of my plumbing. Just not moving the water I expected. Slight delays but...it's a learning experience.
I wonder if it's that long horizontal run before the RFS? Horizontal flow is a fraction what verticle flow is.
Maybe try a pair of 45s going into and inside of the rfs instead of 90s? The gradual angle of 2 45s should increase flow over a 90.
Standpipes could help as well, there may even be a benefit in adding one before the drawer tower as it looks like a bit of a horizontal run there too....

Kinda what I was thinking, it's a little late for standpipes in the tank. But my flow I think is restricting at the 3"T. I'm going to configure it with the 45 fitting like yours then the double 45 into the RFS then do a standpipe in the 2nd chamber. Trial and error, such a pain. Should have been up and running!
Tried to upload a video of it running but it won't upload. Had to revise the plumbing, I can run my pump wide open now and the overflows keep up.
Hey DB I have my tank up and running, fish are in it but I se to have a dead spot smack dab in the middle of the tank. How did you route your return and are u running any power heads or air stones in the tank?
