Please be kind, everything has been pretty much glued except for the return pipe and the fittings on the ends of the manifolds.
;)
I’m extremely nervous to test it this week.
Any last minute tips? I plan on having support straps when it’s running.

I’m not a plumbing guy, so I will say looks good.
Only thing I noticed was you drain. Is it above where the water line will be? That will cause splashing, if it is set up herbie style the outlet should be around 1 inch below surface.

There’s tons of plumbing people so you should get some better feedback

Indeed
I have it but wanted to use the white to try before I cut it since I have probably just the right amount left for the return and intake

Looks very sharp. I can't wait to do mine soon. Just getting the lights this week and going to start doing the 40g br as a sump. I hope that's enough for a 129 g DT
