OMG, I'm so dumb.
I had raised the loc line return out of the water overnight because I was paranoid about siphoning...
So yeah, water was spraying out of it, running down the back of the tank, hitting the plumbing and it looked like everything was leaking.
So I cleaned up. Just need to get the anti-siphon hole in my loc line and try again

With that combo Id look for the couch... Hope you feel better soon.
Hhahah
Id say its just asking for a whoopin...
All right we have swishing, trickling, and gurgling!
The loudest part is where it trickles from the main display into the overflow. Not sure if there is anything to do to quiet that down.
I'm going to let it run and the water warm up for a bit.

I've added this substrate to the sump https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FO5H7MY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ,
a big bottle of Fritzyme, and I've been ghost feeding a few cubes of frozen food a week.
I haven't been testing at all, I'll probably start testing next week to see how things are cycling. I ordered a variety of Macro-algae an some more snails from Reefcleaners and will add those to the sump and display next week.

I picked up a Copper Band Butterfly from the local death row fish store and a nice longnose from the awesome fish store and they are almost through QT after quite a few ups and downs.

Oh! And I grabbed a Tunze 7095 multicontroller for my pumps on Ebay for $40! I still need an ATO, I've been scouring for deals but may finally have to relent :/
I still need to hang the light though I bought the hardware and found a nice shade to camouflage the fixture.

Yesterday I spend some time crammed in under the stand. installing GFCI and then running it to the dj strip.
I bought two el cheapo mechanical timers from harbor freight and put the sump light on one. The other will be for the main display light. I cleaned up the wires on the right side of the tank and used velcro fasteners to keep everything in place.
I set up the temperature controller with my titanium heater. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V4TJR00/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm waiting on a couple of these http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/controller-pump-cable-7092-300-tunze.html before I can put the powerheads on the controller and then do the same with those cables (they are the messy ones you see in the picture).
I also cleaned the nano tank and qts, did large water changes on those, and consolidated the butterflies.
I ordered a variety of macros from Reefcleaners and a BOGO pods/phyto pack from Algaebarn.
Today I wired the $25 light fixture that instigated this whole fiasco, put my free shade on it, and hung it from the ceiling.
Yup, plenty of light lol! I put a shade on it to help protect my eyes.

Ok, first life is in the tank!
I ordered a ball of cheato, some tiny periwinkle snails, and a small variety of macro algaes for the display. All from Reefcleaners.
I also ordered copepods and phyto from algaebarn but the shipment is delayed! I sure hope they all survive.
