Would pumping water back into drain sock help to suck more out of the tank, or would it just be double filter some of the water?

It's gonna be nice... Congrats

 

[reefkeeper135]

OK got the new tank in place and found a litle mermaid

sorry couldn't resist.....

so after a hour and a half I have this....

rigged up a temporary return and fired up the pump to get the filter going.....and since it was going on 2am .......went to bed and woke to this...

by noon...

will wait for it to clear up more and take some more pics
