Almost done with plumbing, what do you guys think


here are pics at end of this link to my plumbing:

http://thereeftank.com/forums/showth...848#post786848

what do you guys think? Am I ready to seal all the joints and get her rolling?

Anything you see on there that you would change?

i have a small leak in my overflow plumbing ....gotta see where that water is escaping from...its a very tiny leak, and with the ball valve closed...I imagine when open it will probably not be present, but best to nip this in the bud now before moving forward. I am sure I'll see more leaks yet in my other plumbing locations, especially where the OM 4 way has threads... stay tuned...

looks good. I will offer a tip though in concern to your leaky threads you mention. Use silicone AND plumbers tape. Put a light coating of silicone on the threads and then wrap the tape as you normally would, then another light layer of silicone and your leaky threads will be a thing of the past.
