Not my best plumbing job. Shouldn't have rushed it but looks decent and as long as it hold water. Light is mounted and filling her up!

What the heck r you talking about that looks tight, clean and simple. the light mount is immaculate. One question, where’s the return?

Just measure twice cut once and still off sort of stuff. Few pieces I didn't get a good seat into the fitting. Should be fine thats for feedback. My return line Upton isn't finished yet I have to fine a sch80 1" tee, was hoping to do it locally but might just amazon prime it. The bottom return is the left most line.

I just called them today and got an immediate no for a answer lol. I'll swing by in person (its in my town haha) thanks for the info

They will absolutely stock that in slip or thread. I’ve been to the one’s in Gloucester and seabrook at least a dozen times in the last two weeks for my jackson pollek tank plumbing. They may be outa stock.

Had a few great interactions with forum members recently and just wanted to recognize them. "Shoo" is a member that sounds to be taking a break from the hobby as hes going off to school. He allowed me to rehome his mated pair of clowns that are awesome. He stated "the forum has giving us so much and we felt it was our turn to contribute".
Recently also had a interaction with "shimpchips" to purchase one of his dragonsouls. Great price, great coral, then he says, "hey, so I just noticed it has a second head but its no problem we had a agreed price, enjoy!". These are just two that come to mind but ive had many others. Glad to be a member of this group and grow the hobby.

So anyway the tank is coming well with a few medical set backs with the fam (all good). Started my torch/lps garden pretty pumped about it haha. Currently nicks, dragon, & reaper torch, soon to add a indo green, hellfire.

Picked up some awesome lps from frank, especially the cotton candy torch! I've always wanted a torch garden and finally its working it way there. Currently have ds, Knicks, cc, reaper, lemonlime thanks to the members here.

Can anyone recommend a filter for a phone to capture true colors?

+1 for the orphek. I tried a few of these head to head and orphek was the best of the ones I tried.
