Welcome to R2R!

Great pics of the plumbing!
thanks, im particularly proud of that lol. i didnt release the overflow box was so small inside. so ordered some 3/4 soft piping from brs but dont want to glue the pipes underneath the bulkhead incase i need to remove them when brs stuff comes. so just waiting on stuff to come. also found out the the kessil mounts arint good for eurobraced tanks and didnt want to spring another $110 for extrentions. so today was all about making this

im neither lol just lots of youtube. this is actually my 2nd tank. first one had a leak from the bulkhead and i couldnt get behind to fix it, so had to empty the previous tank to move it. this was the tail end of lockdown and really worried as this was a used tank, how having it dried might affect it? (silcone and all) and wondering if we should just call it quits.

wife said i could get a new tank curtesy of Mr Biden. i think this is something i should explain on the build thread later....
anyways, so here iam, correcting mistake of the first time and trying to improve.

p.s i got a new tank/sumo the wife got....
