Hello

I started my build thread but I think I did it in the wrong section of the forum. So I will update all progress here. And get this thread up to date!.

Got the tank in the house. Not going to use the original stand. I have a custom Bashsea sump being made and it just won’t fit in the stock stand.

I originally drew up a couple different ideas for the stand. And sent them off to my steel guy

Problem was I sent him the wrong drawing

Luckily my powder guy made the quick fix and we where good to go!

Got my to very large 165 gallon water tanks in. 1 for RODI water and 1 for mixed salt for my auto water changes. Have them mostly plumed in now in my basement. Still need to get a couple peace’s of treated lumber to build a small standfor the pump to set on.

I goto take a tour of bashsea last week. What an amazing place. My only problem is I only took 1 picture the hole time I was there.

A little modification and I think it will work out great!
