75 Gal tank build From Scratch!!!

well the Drilling went Great. got It set back in the house fresh water tested found a few leaks only one major and that was my screw up while gluing the pips together gave one fitting a bit too much Primer and It ran down to the next fitting only prob next fitting My threaded union Seat...Ya leak sprung an could get my wonderfully designed pluming system apart.

Well the tank has had salt in it for 3 days now. I threw in a cube of Mysis shrimp to get it kicked off so we will see if that worked as of a day later no shrimp were to be found but water still cloudy after 2 days.

Alright its been a long time since I did an up date here but the tank is running and doing great but any way here are pictures!!
 
Here are a few Shots of the Plumbing I went with the only two things I regret about the plumbing is I didn't do a ball valve on the return pump to be able to control the flow, and didn't put tee connecters in intermittently so I could add other things to the system (Uv Sterilizer) without cutting pipe apart.
