More progress this weekend. Picked up the padding yesterday and got it under the stand. Glued the plumbing together, installed the 8020 light brackets and threw on the two XR15s temporarily. Still waiting for the shipment of Aquatic Life fixtures to get to BRS!!!

Got the new apex up and running today. This thing is soooo much easier than the older version. Had it up and running and the WAVs connected and programmed in less than 15 min!  :-) Updating the firmware of the base unit along with the different modules is extremely easy.

Woohoo! Did you get the ball valve issue figured out?

Yep...PVC cutters work miracles!

I did speak too soon on the "no leaks".  This morning found where there's a tiny trickle coming from between the back glass and outside overflow box. Some debate about gaskets. Ghost Overflows come with 4, 2 inside and 2 outside.  Planet only provides 2...before I make any changes Jake is going to confirm with them where they should be placed.  I'm now assuming outside between the glass and box.
