That might be perfect, dialing it down.
Ok now you have to go SPS dominant
 
I thought I had my quick water change setup but quickly realized this morning my wife measured the outside of the cabinet and not the inside. Will be waiting until Tuesday I guess.
 
I think a PAR test at 100% is warranted though. Except it's so much coverage that you can't even get the PAR meter in the tank ;)
 
Had this small upgrade pump, doesn't add a ton of flow but I believe will be needed to push more water through filtration I believe with what's next.

Well still moving slow but we did add water to the tank to start the cycle.

The correct containers showed up so here’s the concept (if it will hold water pressure).
*I’m aware the bulkheads are on backwards, I’ll change them around.
*I’m thinking that holding two pipes full of water that are much taller than the tank will work to validate the seal. Not sure if there‘s a better idea.

These fit in the stand (1), I have a small pump in the AIO chamber the pumps water out into the container and right back up effectively doubling the water volume. I figure the pump up top on a sealed container will eliminate the risk of a siphon break.

When it’s time for a water change I have only to bring a filled container from the office home and swap them after bringing up to temp.

The quick connects do restrict flow but I’m not concerned with that, they don’t drip/drain when disconnected! We shall see how fast I need to disconnect/connect with the added head hight and not spray water like a connection on an air compressor, they do work great on my main skimmer.

I haven’t quite worked out where in the back chambers I should put the pump and return… same chamber, separate?
Still need to validate water pressure hold.
I may have a space issue the with the quick connects coming straight up if I want space for an ATO

Oh and I need a cleaner method of running lines over the top of the tank. Everything seems made to accommodate 1" bracing or more.
 
I’m still trying to wrap my head around this and the pressurized container application

It's just a big closed loop. The pressure is solely from the added tube height above the container.

As a side, for every 1' of water column height you add just under 0.5 psi. I haven't meassuresd but I'm assuming I'll add 1.5 psi to the gasket. It's not much but it's also designed for spills not pressure.

If I hold a 6' pipe of water above it I'll effectively double the pressure and at least know I'm not right on the edge of failure.
