The LAST big upgrade

[michika]

The glass arrives on Friday, it will just be the tank glass for now. I opted to hold back on the sump until I'm 100% ok with the layout of pumps. This stems from a little oops with the leg tank/waterchange system. I forgot to leave enough space for the pump, and Ocean Runner 600, so now I have a bit of a connundrum to solve. I'm worried it will happen with the sump as well, so I need to re-assure myself about pump and plumbing placement before I go ahead with it.

So some photos:

Mostly clean display side of the basement


The stand is now a table top to do some the work above it.


Plywood is in, just have to add a layer of foam and then the tank!


Moved the offsets that were in the way; before


after;


Blue board is mostly up, I wanted the stuff up behind the tank wall ASAP, just in case I couldn't get the rest done in time.


Leg tank is all drywalled and the backside is now mudded
