Ok its noon and everything is hooked up and flowing, fortunatly it appears that the maxi-jet 600 and the intake are moving water at the same rate, i marked the water line in both tanks with a piece of tape, and for 2 hours ive been watching to see if anything changes. I dumped both of my specimen container ref.'s into the new refugium. I would like to get a more powerful pump to perhaps circulate the water a lil faster but for now everything is fine. I moved my heater and a air pump into the sump and filled the closed off section with some bio-balls i had lying around. I'm a little nervous to leave the house at the moment becuase i fear a power outage or other murphys law type of thing to flood my apartment but im sure once i've tweaked everything i will be safe... for now im relaxing, later i will organize the wires and set the intake/outakes so that they will just stop and not backflow in an emergency. My blogsite wont let me post any pics right now for some reason but as soon as i can ill put some pics up
