    Hey Ice,
    Nice looking setup! ;D
    Just checking to see if your plumbing includes ball valves for the overflow drain and sump return pump. Always a good idea to have them for maintence and tweaking of flow. Just my 2 cents.

    i had a fairly productive afternoon

    my hang on shelf is assymbeled,painted and almost finished drying (it looks pretty good for being made of scrap partical board and my old wire dorm room spice rack)

    i finished the hardline install ... i considered adding a ball valve a suggested by scott but the action was just too stiff on all the ones i tried in the HW store (pictures coming soon)

    allso re-ran the vinyl lines and added 90 degree angles to allow for easier repositioning and maintenance
