    things are looking good jordo! this is a really exciting part of the build when you get it wet and plumbing all hooked up. did you have any leaks? start the cycle yet?

    loving your stand btw, great job with that!

    There is a tiny tiny leak about a drip every 2 hrs, should I be worried about it? The initial cycle is over I just want to see if I get a mini cycle now that I added the sump... So we shall see

    Mine leaked down the back of the tank from under the bulkhead. It was worse at first for me though, so I followed AZDesertRats advice in this sticky: http://www.3reef.com/forums/new-hobby/bulkhead-installation-tips-111422.html

    After making sure I did all of that, the drop every hour or so got plugged with salt creep after 2 weeks or so
