So did Santa leave any leaky packages or other reef related presents under your tree this year?
As for me, I got an IOU for an AC3 and a new camera

I ended up getting a gift card for the LFS here, and an aquarium book from my little sister, and the parents gave me the money for my new tank that Keith is building for me. Then with the extra cash I got... an ACIII & remaining Ca Reactor pieces will be on the way soon.
One of my favorite gifts was a TomTom GPS though, and an IOU for a new cell phone. So now no more getting lost in Elyria going from house to house! :lol:

You should be able to find bulkheads at SaltyCritter... then all the remaining plumbing supplies I found at Lowe's.
Once you get the standpipes, and down turned elbows on there, it will really quiet down... then the siphon will silence it. Also... if you find out you have a lot of extra room (front to back) inside the box, you can always have a new one made, and "slim fit it" to just fit all your plumbing.
Any particular reason you didn't cover the back? If you cover or paint it in black that box will disappear and blend into the background.

It looks like it's gonna be hard to reach that light switch behind there.
If you are planning to use the bulkheads for returns like you have the locline in right now you might want to consider the water that will drain back into your sump when the power is shut off to the return pump.
Without going over the rim and drilling siphon break holes you will have water draining until the returns can suck air and break the siphon. It looks like that would be several inches and that could add up to 30-40 gals that you have to catch or it ends up on the floor.
Also, if your locline leaks at all it could drain all the way down to your bulkhead before stopping.
Just thought you would like to know potential problems before they could become real problems. You know how that Murphy guy gets with his law. :lol:
