Did some plumbing today, I needed to modify the stand and top to get the return pipe through. Filled it up with tap water to check for leaks in the plumbing. One small leak coming from the only threaded pvc barb. Probably should have put some Teflon tape around it. It is only a very small occasional drip but it is a leak. I want to modify the overflow tube to get the water slightly higher.
Still would like to find a hose that is more flexible than what I have tried so far. Already received the scale from the ebay auction that will be used to hang the lights. I think it will work however the small weight is quite heavy. I may have to drill a hole to lighten it up. I will hang in basement with a light or two on it to determine if mods are needed.
Return outlet is just temporary, trying to make sure everything is a go. I wish I would have not used the original pipe that came with tank in the overflow. It would have been nicer to use the schedule 80 since it is a dark.
