Love the attention to detail! Now, go ahead and get some rock and sand in that tank!

Oh i see now, you went under the sheet rock...

heh heh, yep. The space between the sheetrock and floor.

Same with the front corner near the tank.

As far as more lines, good idea but honestly the two is all I would ever need. There's only two kinds of water... fresh and salt!

Ah, yes... those are just the ones that are threaded on the other side.
I couldn't find double ended ones either (the center is always much thinner than the ends) so I just got these and force fit the lines into the threaded end.
The caps aren't really thick enough to work with the threads on the fittings so i just made sure the holes were small enough that it was a fairly tight fit, and then a little crazy glue holds them in nice and solid.
And a small hole is drilled in the cap to allow air in.

Bulk reef supply has them

Haha, he will be soon!

And here's a little cropped screen shot from my Nest cam.
Is that water I spy with my little eye?

Next to the head of my dog behind the couch.
