I work all day yesterday on the plumbing. I made a new sump/refugium on Thursday to replace my existing 29 gallon one. I had to do this to make room for water overflow from the new frag tank in case of power outage.
I am running a Mag 7 as the return pump. As of now everything is up and running. So far no leaks .I will be posting pictures as soon as I figure the camera I borrowed out. I broke my camera on vacation.
