Tonights update:

I had a bad gate valve that was cracked.. (I put some water in the tank to check the lower bulkhead seal and discovered the valve leaking) Good thing I did too.. lol

Drained it and replace it.

Completed the trays for the media in the sump. 610 scrubbies in the main chamber, the other 1000 or so will be in the wet/dry section to be added when the tank is running (Saturday?) They are currently in use keeping my tig happy.

The first chamber will have filter floss (Upper area)and scrubbies (Very bottom) under the blue pad.

Will leak test the sump tomorrow, and move the main pump into place.

Then Friday I can begin filling!!!
