Put a 1" to 1.5" adapter with stand pipe and T and capped it! Im going to make it uniform and such. But what I really wanna know is does anyone know if they make different color pvc to change out the white?

Just waiting for cloudy water to correct itself. All params are good and the cloudy was expected.

Yall want to see something totally insane?
Had to take my skimmer 100% offline.
As of now I have anough aeration and water movement through my tank to maintain appropriate PH levels.
Whats craziest about it is its so quiet I can hear the return pump in tables on opposite wall over everything else.
Super quiet and efficient. Upgrading my 1" overflows to 1.5" changed the whole dynamic.
Anyhow PH has been running a bit high pegged up around 4.3 ish.
I believe I've been experiencing precipitation and not water column bacterial bloom.
Can only test PH and Ammonia now Amm. Hasn't moved but maybe a cpl times @ .003 since I set up this tank.
PH is slowly adjusting.
Can't wait to get some proper param readings when cloudiness goes away.

Dude that's great.
It is pretty awesome man. I need to read up on precipitation and exactly what the cause is. I never seen it with RC salt. I did rush set up the water in this tank. I think too much at once is main cause if I remember correctly. I am guilty of that here.
From here I can see dialing all my newly mixed salt mixes for cpl days before going into tank.
Pretty sure the new tank set up and new water played a huge part as well.

Your pH was a bit high around 4.3? Probably more the 8.3 listed on the readout?
Haha yes. Wow I can't believe I made that same mistake in 2 threads.
PH has been running around 8.43-8.47
Took skimmer off line and got it down to 8.34 currently.

Came home and did about 10% water change. Water is crystal clear. Doesn't look like it here as I stirred everything up and made everyone mad again. Anyhow Im running overflows into huge 5 micron sock. I may just order a cpl more if crystal clear water is the pay off. I know its not for everyone and sure the small 5 micron socks clog fast. This one looks like it can go another week. I really don't want detritus in sump. I still haven't figured out how im going to clean it.
Tested alk today sitting at 8.5 in tank.
Tested fresh salt water mix it was sitting at 9.5.

Cpl quick fts pix. Im telling you ive been non stop working on this tank, the system upgrade in general for a solid month and im exhausted to be real.
Still a ton to do but ready to chill and kick back for few days and enjoy fruits of my labor.

No issues knock on wood. Just a bunch of fiddling and getting house put back together!
Ramp down pix is best i can do right now lol.

Everything is settling nicely.
Ph seems to have stabilize. @danieyella have you had chance to cross refference your seneye to other form of PH measurement. If so how close is it reading?
Going to be slowly bumping my lights back to where they where over next few weeks. A few are sluggish and had to build a small step which may just stay. Its going to be nice to be able to keep the majority of shrooms where they like to be and push my shrooms that want and need more light.
Its coming together.
Got my "natural" color discs in. More of a tan than darker but don't seem to have the "gloss" my current discs have. Gonna throw some in and see how they look.
Also just realized I haven't had a haircut since I tore my house apart over a month ago. Currently sitting at barber shop this homeless Jesus look has to go its throwing off my energy haha

My pH reads low always. I stopped trying to solve it - corals are doing fine. I have probe I should plug in & recalibrate to cross reference though...
