The arrival of the tank.

[iceman]

Everything is done.

[jervismun]

Now... fill it up with water!!!

[iceman]

The piping was done by Geo-Aquatic using GF++ piping, very neat and tidy.

Here a pic of the overflow to the sump.

[iceman]

The return pipe. I'm not using any check valve cos it will cut down the flow of the pump.

Here's a view of the sump.

[iceman]

The overflow box. The clear pipe is actually the piping for the skimmer not using it so use it for the overflow.

A full tank shot. Can see that the glass is very clear
