Well I got a little plumbing done. I will have sweeps from there to sump. The 2 outside drains will turn towards the inside and have 45 to make more room. I still have yet to figure out the return plumbing. Any suggestions? I was thinking 2 3/4" returns.

Slowly coming together. Awesome work.

Yes, not as fast as I want but it is going. I still haven't supported the floor yet so not doing too much too fast so I wont put water in it. I don't think it will be too much for floor, but long term ya never know. How is your tank coming along?

Things never happen as fast as we would like to it seems.

I'm a little behind schedule but that's fine. My, build thread.

Ok so I am back at it finally. Been really busy and working a lot. So I got floor supports in, and rock has been curing since started the thread. Hopefully tank will be wet next week or sooner. Let the fun begin. A few pictures to get back started.

Great job so far!

Thanks guys, although I did notice a chip in the tank that is about 2mm inside. I am hoping it wont be a problem. I am working on a repair now, and hope it works out. It would be terrible if my dream tank turned into a disaster.
