    I have a plan in my head but most of this has been doing it as I go. I have a feeling that this manifold is going to give me problems finding a clean and smooth way to mount and run it.

    I put 2 little power heads and a 200w heater in the tanks last night to start moving water and start the cycle I keep adding salt every now and then also. It is starting to get that smell (one more thing my wife will have to talk to me about) I personally like that smell. it reminds me of...

    9" full and 16" to go. Now according toy math it should be full around 8am. The question is do I trust my math or do I play it safe and shut it off for the night...........
