Got the returns and synergy overflow installed today. I decided to not use the sump I had because it's just a little too small. Going to take a little while to get the one I want since they are back ordered. Will be a nice upgrade though.

Almost all the plumbing is here and hopefully this weekend I can get a lot of that done.

Nope. This is the one right before the newest one. Its in brand new condition so I dont have a reason to get the newest really.

Busted up some Marco rock tonight to get ready to start scaping soon. Probably going to bust it all up I like how much better the pieces fit into each other than larger rocks.

New piece of equipment came in, reeflink.

Started some plumbing

Looks sweet so far!

I would consider adding some supports to that return plumbing to hold up the weight of the water once the system is running.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah everything is just fitted right now and not cemented yet. I'm going to trim back a few pieces to bring the plumbing a bit closer to the tank itself. I'll probably try to get some sort of clamp to secure the pipes using the piece of wood the stand it sitting on to screw into to.

Ran my waste RO line directly into my plumbing in the house and not to the utility sink so the pump wouldn't have to kick on every 30 seconds. Also got some more plumbing done.
