I will reinforce the seems from underneath before it gets wet and i test the plumbing.. 5inch decking screws are fine for it dry.

Do you think pops going to give you slack. I even see the pink tape holding your plumbing together.
Nice catch. I used it on purpose to see who would see it first. Plus, no open duct tape. Meant to be. Its holding the 1-1/2" extension over the sink so it doesnt fall. The return 90 is 1".

I have a feeling the bulkheads will leak if I dont seal the rear side. The height i set them at is purposed to have the skimmer compartment and the rear sump pod paradise chamber run even to each other. No noise or splashing that way. Just a steady flow over the top of that chamber before making its way through the bubble trap to the return chamber. Will call LFS's and find 1" bulkhead replacement seals and ill prolly flip the switch tomorrow night.

We shall see tomorrow
