Haven't put the door on yet. I'll do that after it's all plumbed in the morning.

Cool! What tank is that? Is it gonna be a frag tank?

Waterbox Frag 45.2. Yes -- for frags.

You have to document the plumbing process so we can have a Red Sea vs Water Box discussion, agree, disagree and agree to disagree.

There's three pipes. They go from the return to sump.

You’re taking all the fun out of it.

Then why's it taking you until the morning to put in three little pipes?

That should be wet already!

Took a while to get it into the apartment, unpack it and then put the stand together. Saving some fun for tomorrow.

Sidetracked with nine hours of congressional hearing to watch. About to start now.

Took roughly thirty minutes -- and 15 of that was me trying to figure out what went where only because the tank and stand came with no paperwork on set-up.

Bruce did his own plumbing? No freakin way!

Is the plumbing US friendly? Or just like Red Sea; proprietary and cheap?
I believe they state on their website all sides low iron glass, even the bottom?

I was considering a waterbox. Is the black backing able to be removed like red sea? Is it just vinyl?

Yes way -- but this was absurdly simple.

The glass is gorgeous. The seams are perfect. Plumbing is all standard US sizes it appears and seems to be standard PVC with a high quality gate valve. All really designed well. The stand is only "average" though.
