      Looks good, quick question do you have anti-siphon holes in the returns? They are pretty low in the water and if you lose power it will drain quite a bit of water out of the tank.

      Your tank has a couple of spots its not leveled right in. I would put some foam under the tank to help compensate and prevent leak or stress cracks later.

      Also make sure your built in stand has supports in the cabinet for the back of the tank since there is about 5 inches of space between the tank and the wall.

      Tank and Kitchen look great!

      I'm not sure with the anti-siphon, but I did drill a lot of hole in the return tube. So what won't stay in the overflow box.

      thanks for the reply. Yah I saw the thanks was not level after everthing was setup. I leveled before and everthing look level out. I just remolded my house so I have new flooring, it look like the wooding floor went down a little more after the tank was setup. For the stand. I have 2x6 for support alround. The frame start at the front edge of the tank to the back of the tank. Behind the tank there about 5" for piping.
