All righty then here we go with a small update...........

Lined the bottom & back with the same material used for shower surrounds......



Drilled 3 holes in each end of my sump tank for the pumps and put in the bulkheads & slide it under the tank. There are no baffles yet as Im waiting for my skimmer to arrive on the 15th.............



Installed 1st return pump & plumbed it the the second set of return holes from the left, all dry fit ATM. From the pump is a 1 1/2" swing check valve, then a 1" SCWD, a few 45* elbows, a union, gate valve and a few more 45* elbows ........



Second return pump plumbed to the first set of return holes from the left......





Gate valves on the inside of the bulkheads so close off the flow if I need to service the pumps........



Right side pumps plumbed same as the left side just not finished due to the fact I ran out of 45* elbows and so did my supplier so I have to find 11 more to finish the return pump plumbing & still have a little tweaking to do......



Full view with the drain lines finished with each of the main lines running to the sump separately except for the emergency drains......
