So once I had it up to the edge of the overflow.. I decided to let it go, overflow, and check the fittings.
OOPS... Leaky bulkhead.... ARGH.... hahahaha
Ohh and added more sand.. BTW.... I let it run so you can see how it clears (sand particles)

I moved a rock to the refug part of the sump so I decided to see what critters were in it. YES I know about the HA... I also know that the macro algae will take the nutrients... If you could see this rock now it has 1/10'th the HA on it.. the MACRO kicked it's but(t).....
