Hi @GoonReef, I took some pictures of the plumbing for reference.
I hope this helps. The plumbing looks pretty straight forward.

I really, really like the removable weir. They seem to have changed that on the newer tanks, but it seems like a great idea for maintenance. I guess we'll see in a year!
Personally, I wouldn't let the plumbing deter me one way or the other. You can get adapters cheap from BRS or other places. Sump configuration, price, etc would be more of a driving force for me.
I'm pretty impressed so far. I'm not sure I like the ATO compartment - 5ish gallons won't get me a week in an air-conditioned house & I'd like that space for other things - but overall, impressed.
@Tom Stevens did you have to glue the plumbing? Or was it already assembled?
Reason I’m asking is I’m getting a 75.2 overstock. No stand. And I’m using a trigger systems sump instead of the provider one. So I have to change the plumbing to 1”. But my stand is made of 8020 aluminum and 39” tall so I might be able to cut the pipe right at the strait down drop point to convert to 1”

How much of the wise is removable? All the way to the glass bottom or just like the 2-4” on the top ?
I haven't read much on the 2017 models having scratches, but for myself and other people who have received the new models, their process must have changed because our tanks arrived with damage and for what we paid, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a scratch free tank.The tank arrived today. I was a bit apprehensive since there are a couple of other threads that had quality problems (i.e scratches) with their waterboxes. When the delivery arrived there was a some damage to the packing crate and I was worried.
To my surprise and a testament to the packaging, there was no damage. In fact there we zero scratches to my delight.
The build of the stand went well in spite of the poor instructions.
Here is the final product.
There is more stuff arriving tomorrow so the build will continue.
I am having so much fun!

I love the progress you have made in such a short amount of time! and I love the IKEA stand. I have been thinking about where am I going to keep all the cords and power strips.
Wait can that Ikea cabinet hold the weight?
