It's been awhile since I've posted any updates. Since I last posted I have purchased a new house and I'm going to build a new setup.
I will be using the same display so I'm going to keep using this journal.
I finished a walk through with the contractor so now I have a good idea of how I'm going to build. When they finish the basement there will be a storage room opposite the tank so I'm going to use the room for storage and for a sump room.
I had a custom build sump built at Aquagiant. It is 50 gallons and the dimensions are 48"x16"x15" deep.
