Final Plumbing, I had to move the pump up because of excess pressure on the impeller/possible cavitation:

Tank in stand, no water:

Tank all back together and running:

Tank off, but all back together, (Notice the lower waterline when off, I have not drilled my siphon whole in the sump return yet:

Good work, just make sure that you access to the close loop intake for cleaning later.

Nice work dude.....

Thanks guys...
Fish2reef, Thanks for heads up. Luckily the intake is accessible. I know its hard to see, but the piece of rock in the center is sort of like a 1/2 arch that is balanced on the intake and 2 rocks on the side. Its easy to take apart to toothbrush when needed.

Thanks Jess, nope, I am going to keep them. You never know when you could use one of those things.
