OK well today was leak test day damn bulkeheads I hate the cheap ones. Lesoon learned today for the final time repeat after me "I will never use cheap bulkheads again". Lucky there was only about 1/2 gallon of water in the OF. Drained it replaced it with a really good bulkhead filled the tank. Then I realized the pump was to big I thought wait a minute MAG24 125 Gallon tank Dual OF. But no dice the tank cant drain fast enough I used 1" Plumbing all the way so the MAG 24 is running @ top speed & the overflows can keep up. Tomorrow I will change out the pump for a MAG18. Skimmer is running perfect.

I need to install the UV & the solaris tomorrow.

BTW for those that have ordered the new Vortec you should have them already or by Monday
