Default Not starting

Guys, With my direct communication with Blas I think I am narrowing this puzzle down. 1) Alternator bench tested numerous times. Altrernator Good. (2)New Battery(Optima Red Top) (3) Used test light when pulling out each fuse. Showed no problems ruling out the battery draw at that point. (4) Hooked the alternator back up. This time using a multimeter on the battery. It showed 17.5 - 17.9 volts at engine idle. Is the Voltage Regulator at fault for the battery discharging? I don't have anything except the fan and a couple of other wires that I am not sure of wired to the hot side of the starter solenoid. Nothing different. What next? Thanks!!!!
