You might be missing a few steps between add water and enjoy!

By the way, that floor is amazing.

I take it the wall your tank is against doesn't have a wall below it in the basement?

No basement here just a crawl space. In between joists.

Got the third light up and starting on the electrical. I've decided to start this out as a FOWLR to make it a little easier to maintain for the first bit with the new kid now here.

Very nice build! Do you have more pictures of the trim on the stand? St different angles? Trying to decide what to do for my stand. What size wood did you use to trim out the frame? 1x6 poplar?

Thanks,

Nick

Also how do the front doors work? Do they actually open or are they just fake doors snd the whole front panel comes off?

Thanks,

Nick

Well finally back at it again. Sorry it's been so long but this got put on the back burner. Got the flooring reinforced in the crawl space and I am working on the plumbing.

Let me know what you guys think of this set up.

The blue tape notes a union ball or check valve. Anyone see any issues with using the horizontal ball valve for the Herbie drain?

Following! Thanks for the inspiration. More details on the front door and the magnets please! Love it!
