If becomes an issue, I can move that tee anywhere. I've got lots of tubing left. Or take it out. I just wanted to have easy access to drain the loop if necessary, and that was close to the lowest part of the loop.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Internal installations are an artform onto themselves. Also interested to hear your impressions of that water pump.

Thanks for the heads up MpG! I got this pump because to me the 655 looks like it belongs in an aquarium, this one is clean lines, and Martin's Liquid Lab gave it a decent rating. No variable speed, but I think I can run it through a controller if I want. I'll let you know how it goes.

Off to fab some brackets on my lunch.
