really like the sump/plumbing really clean and also was wondering what the clear blue thing is on the return im thinking its a check valve and if so where did u get the clear one

 

[anathema]

Over a hundred posts early? Don't you think you are rushing things!?

Looks good, have a lot of fun aquascaping!

 

[rygh]

This many excited people deserve some video!
Put some bath toys in there, and lets check it out.

Noise ok?
Pump handling that high head ok?

Flood in the garage yet?
I am not up to 3 times. (I flooded it a bit breaking down the old tank)

Congrats!

Yes, it's a swing check valve. I got mine from Tom at SoCal Tropical, but I have an extra 1 1/2" one if you need it.
