I like it! Close to what I was thinking but my idea had feet that could slide under the stand. I like it attaching to the legs, adjustable for height!

Will send a pm!

pics of aquascaping - I did move the centre bit out from the back, there are smaller rocks that I just put in and will move once I get more rocks in.

Thanks for looking

Looks Great so far!

lookin good and making me jealous....

Thanks guys for the comments! I'm pretty excited but still nervous. Its a bit of a relief that things can slow down now.

I still have to find a couple of brute cans. We are going to move the r/o unit downstairs, then run the water lines up through the floor. My dad and I will skin the tank but won't start until it warms up, he's got a great workshop, but he can't handle the cold.

Lockrookie - I can't wait to see how yours progresses, I'm not nearly as creative or patient, I know yours will be spectacular and well worth the wait!

im with dad not fond of the cold thus why i have to be patient.. inside its killing me

and now you are putting the pressure on to perform lol i hope its spectacular but it could be an epic fail as well.. only time will tell. still in search of someone willing to cut the glass i want.

Tanks and sump are almost full, started adding salt, have to get my skimmer in the sump tonight. Question regarding water level in the sump, we know the max/min but what's optimal? Right now the water is over the middle baffle and is even in both the incoming and return chambers. Is this ok or is it too much water?

when you fireup your return pump you will lose water from sump to start the circulation you will see the sump lose water and then from there you willbe able to figure out proper hieght to keep it at. be sure there is enough room for when power outages happen you dont flood the sump fire up the pump again mark line max hieght then your all good

We just have to add the return lines in the tank then finish filling. I got the skimmer in the sump but I'm already thinking it needs to upgraded, but will give it a shot to start.

Your height of your return line outlets will also determine how much water flows back in the sump during a power outage. I like the locline, that way you can adust the height to where you want it.
