Well, I had a couple of setbacks.
First I had both top braces break on the 225 Thursday night. More about that in another thread.
Next, I started filling the frag tank and the bulkhead fitting on the return line started leaking. On further investigation I realized that I had the gasket on the wrong side of the glass. Since the bulkhead fitting was not threaded, I had glued a piece of pipe into both ends. That meant that I could not get the nut off (and reuse it). With the help of Mr. Dremel it turned loose. Luckily I found another one at the Aquarium Shop. It was threaded (I think they all should be).
The lights installed in the hood.
And with the hood installed and lights on. I don't have quite enough water in the sump to run the return pump and connect the heaters.
