So is it running? How's the noise level?

i dont have the return plumbed yet...i'm on my fourth iteration--i dont like the flexible tube (1 inch vinyl) so we're redoing it in 1" pvc. it will have two 45's to get out of the sump and up, and then two 90s to get back into the tank. i (hopefully) will finish mock up tonight and glue tomorrow, pump on wednesday.


the overflow works well with no discernable leaks outside the tank...the internal overflow does leak, but i'm not so concerned about it, since it takes almost 12 hours to leak down the 4" heigh of the overflow. I may run another silicone bead over the joints we suspect of leaking.
