Thanks guys. Good news, bad news I have water in the tank. (good) I have a leak (bad).



Hmmm guess I should have put some teflon tape on the bulk head, Leak Test /Fail. I'll fix that later.

Well I managed to get water in the tank. After I fixed the leaky bulk head I added a Mag 5 to the mix and ran a test of the rest of the plumbing.
Fairly happy with the results, everythings doing what it's designed to do. I'm hoping that the Mag 18 won't be too much pump for the 1.5 drain. If the drain pipe can't keep up I can go back to the Mag 5 and use the Mag 18 on the closed loop.

Like my sump?


Drilled and plumbed the reservior tank

I really like the side-storage you have made there.

I'm trying to find a way to fit a topoff reservoir AS WELL as my water change mixing tank under my stand. Would love to do what you've done but I'm going open-top and it'd look a bit funny.

Looking forward to seeing more.

This is just like I want to build for my 95. Do you have more detail on the construction and supply list?

My design is a basturdized version of cprowler's build, he has more build pictures and imo is a much better carpenter. Regardless, I built using his pictures. gotta love the web. ps thanks prowler

I like the open top idea too, but I want to add a surge device and needed somewhere to hide it. If yu gave yourself extra hieght and a bit more width in the stand you might be able to do it. Something like this



I have thought about an open top even while I was building this stand, I guess I just need another 90 gal. (don't tell my wife)
