Well almost ready to set up my new 110 Reef. I have always had a goof or afterthought. You know the "Gee I wish I hadn't done that" or "Next time I'll drill a bigger access hole in the stand top so I can get at the bulkhead nut". So anybody have any goofs or suggestions? Might help others setting up too. My favorite is listed above, make sure you can get a tool on bulkhead nut after the tank is full and in place.
New tank "Goofs" or afterthoughts?

When gluing PVC joints, be sure to place primer and glue on both fittings, not just one. Also twist the fittings a half turn and hold for 3 seconds. I had leaks before I learned this method.
When using Spa Flex tubing be sure to use it just like rigid PVC pipe and glue it into the PVC fittings. I used to slide it over nipple fittings and clamp it down. This will leak and Spa Flex is made to be glued into fittings.
