Aqua One Mini Reef 120

My little reef tank has been running for 1y1m21d. Despite the ups and downs during the year, tank managed to achieve sort of stability.
This is the first rodeo: barebottom, ASW, dry rock & bacteria in a bottle were a perfect recipe to start this tank. Both torches were placed a week after pouring the bacteria and they have multiple heads now.

 
Hard Plumbing

I want to have a hard plumbing system. And since the tank had already came with a DIN drain & return pipe, I had to collect other pipes, connector and accessories with the same DIN system also.
At the time I couldn't find these DIN pipe in my country, so I had to import from aliexpress.com. Bought these on 11.11 sales event in 2019, and arrived on Feb-Mar 2020 (almost 4-5 months later).
Bought a lot, hoping that they would be enough. I got a used Reef Octo return pump.
