Managed to get enough plumbing done today to do a leak test on the tank. I still have some more to go for my reactors, but thats not necessarily a priority right now. So far, so good on leaks, which is surprising. I think I am going to work on my storage cabinet next, and it will house my CO2 bottle, dj power station, and ATO container.

    Looks nice Heath! Post another pic when it's clear; it should be clear today.

    Thanks Hat!

    And sorry Marc, I am awful about remembering to do that when I make new entries.

    So, still no leaks, but I am going to run it for two days to make sure. If everything plays well, then I will go to the trouble of mixing up saltwater and getting the cycling process started. It also turns out the that mag 18 running wide open is too much for my overflow to handle, so I have turned it back. Once I get a frag tank plumbed in, I will tee off it to feed the frag tank and I can go back to running it full throttle.

    No problem. I edited for you to the Plumbing category.

    That's a good idea for the Mag 18. It should work out nicely.

    Im glad I went with savko for the ball valves. They turn effortlessly, not like the home depot valves that will seize and are difficult to turn off the shelf. I also like their unions better then what I can get locally too.

    You can buy the 8-switch version from Guitar Center if you are determined to have your family purchase and ship it instead of using Amazon's online store.
