Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
lol...wait...what...you only have one door on your truck ??? no passenger door... I like it no way anyone could ask for a ride or ask youhelp them move...hahahah
4 doors, 3 of them locked no key fob no way to get in.
Maybe I can later or tow truck away to never never land.
 
Yup, that was the issue. The last guy must have test fit the adapter and left it.
swapped the adapter to the red line and kicked on the pump pressure shot to over 100 within seconds. I assume that i now have to take an allen wrench and adjust the pump pressure. is it left to lower pressure, right to increase?
On the last picture posted, the ball valve. if its pointing down then that means
Nice! If I recall it is left to lower pressure, but start with tiny adjustments and you will see the pressure move in one direction immediately as confirmation.

I am a man of confirmation, I always have the fear if I don't ask even a simple question it could lead to substantial errors! We are all set. Hoping the wife gets me the actual water storage bins rather than the brutes. I sprung a leak and would rather not spend money on a second DIY attempt.
 
Don't be sad. It's really ok. Misfit toys just sometimes need a little stitch here and there.
Yes Woody needed a stich or three. ;)

What you have already done is so clean looking. I'm kinda proud of you.
