    May seem like a daunting task, but as long as you can cut pvc and glue it, it is not so bad.

    Hey Justin, did you buy the whole system or just the tank?
    If its just the tank I would say wait a bit to set it up, come join us on the tank tour next weekend. I'm sure you'll see several good ideas for different plumbing options.

    It's a whole system. I have everything times 10 in my basement. Just trying to figure out the sump because it looks backwards. It's an ADHI sump and I'm trying to make a Ref into it. I've taken out the bio balls too. Also only way to get the sump in was remove the base to the stand. So once the sump is in stand it's in for good. As for waiting I made a promise if I got it this weekend it would be set up by next weekend as it's my sons 2nd birthday and Sunday I have our basketball banquet.

    Sounds like you have a busy few days. If you can post up some pics we might be able to offer up some advice.
