A little dry fitting plumbing today. I can’t tell you how many times I ran the line from the scrubber to the manifold. I had to squeeze in a union at the spray bar for quick removal to clean the screen, a gate valve to adjust the flow, 5 90s and a flow meter with adapters to monitor the flow through the scrubber. A lot of stuff in a 16” run. I think this will be the final version.
It took a long time for me to figure this out. To access the pumps in that section, I would only have to undo the union, disconnect the two electrical plugs for the LEDs and lift the scrubber out of the way. Not ideal, but I wanted the scrubber to be easy to get to and serviceable from the front of the sump.
I also ran the line from the other pump (eFlux) to the manifold. Now the fun part of gluing it up. Now I have to run lines to the chiller, UV and the Siporax reactor behind the tank. On hindsight, I guess I should have posted this in my own thread. Sorry about that.

@Fin
I also did some dry fit plumbing today
The final photo has some stuff drawn on...two lines where the pvc will be cut to go into the unions.
The blue circle that piece will be a Y connector tomorrow and have a pipe going downward toward the pump.

Sunday is install/setup day!!
I need to move my apex to the stand and get it ready, start to run wires to it etc.
I'm thinking I'll run the stand as is...open with no doors, side or rear panels yet, I want all the fresh air exchange possible in my small house this winter.
As well as the added benefit of humidity when it gets sooooooooo dry here mid winter.
