UPDATE It's long ago i didn't post my update on reef addict. So here it goes........ Left to Right Right to Left FTS
Well I ordered my SW test kit and the agua lifter pump Melev recommended for my overflow. I put the other side on the overflow and am waiting for it to cure for a day or two and will water test it.
