I just moved to Mill Valley and upgraded my tank in the process. I bought a 125 reef ready all glass tank.
The question is, how do I set up the plumbing?
Are there any members in Mill valley or close to here that would be willing tocome over and give me a lesson?

did you buy the all glass overflow kits?
They come with the bulkheads and all the plumbing for the returns and overflows.

Yes, I got the kits. I just don't know how to plumb from the tank to the sump. I was bored so I read up on www.Melevsreef.com And drew up these plans in Illustrator. Does it make sense?

Nice drawing, That is perfect. The only thing to add is a filter sock on the pipe coming from the overflow of the tank.
Yes the next meeting is the second week in April. You will see a thread on here with the details.
