Ordered the gate valve for the bean animal and 3x 1" uni seals from BRS so other than a few more 90° fittings I should be all set to plumb the drain. I will be pai ting the back of the tank and leak testing the baffles on the sump tomorrow now that the silicone has had 7 days to cure and I have a day off work. Plumbing drain next weekend is the plan.
Once all thats done I will concentrate on the return plumbing which should be simple. Going to build a small manifold for future reactor(s).
Im am still undecided on converting the wall power outlet from 2 plug grounded to a 4 plug gfci.
Major stuff still to do: Water flow, RODI, water station, light mounting, temp control, get rock and sand.
