I was told when they left that the salt creep would seal the stream of water that was running down the main pipe and running back into the fuge, they were right.... 9 days later. I know I need to have a professional plumber come in and rip everything out and redo everything, but I will wait until this summer.

thats crap, they should have seen that straight away after the wet run. Im assuming they didn't wait for the wet run

Even if they applied extra glue after the fact, then at least that would have been better than nothing. 45 deg angles are ok, depends on what they are used for, bulkheads on the other hand shouldn't leak for obvious reasons. unless the rubber bung is had it, & or they forgot to tighten em. Did you get this fixed yourself?
bobbys on the money, gutter guard is cheap as, & its non restrictive. Note that word...non restrictive, look at it logically that you want protection for your animals, but as non restrictive a possible. you realised that when the level couldn't be maintained.
GG is totally inert & alot more UV resistant than most products so it makes for an easy solution . Between GG & plastic create you can make anything.
If curing time is only 30min for your bonding product, then as long as you monitor any stress levels in your animals, then shutting down the return system for that time is ok.

They placed a screen in my fuge that is shaped like a table with 4 cut pvc pipes leaving about a 2.5 area beneath the screen. On top of this they placed about 5 lbs of crushed coral. Some of the reading I have done says people are using a DSB in this area, not crushed coral.

they have designed this to be a cryptic
fuge. the table top is to restrict light & a safe haven under neath for various critters. depending on what space & future stocking list, it can be handy. choice is yours to remove the coral gravel on top of the table, although personally i wouldn't bother unless you were going to pull out the design.
