i built a return jet for the return pump so i can change the flow direction in the tank as needed. i cut parts off a old U return pipe i had laying around

and here is the start of the light fixtue to hold up the led bar, i have to wait till i get the tank mount untill i can build the rest to make sure its done right. its just pvc pipe that i painted black, it also has a hole on each side to run the cables inside of it.

ok so the pannels are in the tank letting them try atm. later today ill fit the return pump into its place and let tem dry overnight than i will load test and finish painting the back tomarow. i also got the scrubber screen done and did a quick ziptie rig for the return so it fits better. Then the last thing im waiting on is the floor board, i just ordered 15 lbs of marco rock nano size so thiat should be here next week sometime i think.
