Just a pic of the final overflow plumbing. I did put the union in there and I think it'll make it much easier to work on if need be.

Today felt like Christmas. It's all coming together. Got my power heads and a second heater. I'll be moving the tank inside from the garage in a couple days. It'll be nice to have inside parking back. It's hot. Pretty much just need to get live rock and substrate. And skimmer but I may cycle...
