    Thank you very much. I shall post pics once completed.
    Quick question. How is that lighting working for you? That's my next purchase. I am trying to research it in the meantime.

    Yes internal. I visited Gl*******s site and sent an inquiry. They informed me that only kits they have are for 1.5" and up. I have 1" bulkheads.. So my search continues. Thank you though, much appreciated.

    You can still use there overflow. You just need some reducing bushings. Very in-expensive.
