All full Pump is running . Minor leaks at the bulk heads easy fix . My custom 2ft overflow tube leaks ( I made ) Gonna run to the LFS and get a bulkhead wrench and see if they have got the 2ft tubes in yet , If not Im gonna say screw it an use the 3 ft one I have!
Gonna let is set all weekend running with fresh water and see how she holds up!

Try to just click once when submitting. You tend to double post a lot lol.

Yeah, I have the same problem. It's a bandwidth thing, which is why we should all donate regularly.
It took me a few days to realize I was double posting from clicking too much. I still do it occasionally, but then just go back and delete the post. Anywho... completely unrelated to this thread lol.
