Its not connected yet, because freaking PETLAND hasn't delivered my 125 g tank yet.

I already built the stand, light canopy etc..got all the plumbing parts..but no damn tank.

Anyways, I'm going to replace the bulkheads that came with the AGA Megaflow kit, the ones that came with are bulkheads with a pre-molded insert on it. Going to use regular slip (rainbow) 1" bulkheads for the drain and 3/4" for the return.

Bottom of the tank in the cabinet will be 4 ball valves (2) 1" and (2) 3/4" that are FPT on both ends, so I'll be using the MPTxInserts for the hoses, or I may just use PVC pipe instead. I'm still undecided because I want to see it visually with the tank in place.

But when I do get it up and running, I'll post a pix of it. If I'm lucky I might be getting the tank this thursday and I'll be up all night working on it.
