    Sink, disposal, dishwasher plumbing

    Got around to doing what was suggested. I am always paranoid about leaks so I have the bucket under to ensure no dripping. I had to rotate the disposal to make it line up with the p trap. I guess I could have cut the exit pipe down but I figured the less invasive the better

    Need some help and advice

    It currently has a 30 gallon. I was curious if I could downsize but seeing as I can get a 30 gallon for about 300 I may just take that route.
