Cat land looks fantastic Doug!! lol
Everything is coming along nicely!  We were out that way last night and thought about stopping by but ran out of time  I can't wait to see everything up and running. If you need a hand getting the sump in there, let us know.Keep the updates coming!

Well it was another 16 hour day yesterday working on the sump room connection almost have it hooked up but ran into a few snags at about 1:30 am so we had to admit defeat and go to bed. Got a solid 4 1/2 hours of sleep. Went out and picked up some more plumbing parts for todays effort
well this Where we started for the day Removing the old sump from under the tank. Yah I know what you are thinking you should leave it there and turn it into a Fuge but I needed it out of the way to drill the holes in the floor to run the plumbing down stairs  Well I tried to cut the seams to save the glass but man they build these tanks tough so we taped it up and broke out the BFG ( BIG F*@#$&% Hammer )  The point of no return  The first two runs down stairs  The sump in place on the stand  Pump in place under the stand  Pump plumbed in and return line running back up to the display  Magie Hard at it supervising the upgrade

Too cool! I had considered doing a series of cat ramps as well for my cats in my last house. I had seen some lady's website and she went way overboard with it and I felt inspired. Glad I didn't as we decided to move. So far a 7 foot cat tower upstairs is as crazy as I've gotten...

Victory is mine
I got the sump room up and running after a week of 16 hr days and sleepless nights it finally came to life last night or should I say this morning at around 1AM. Only one little leak on the outlet of the return pump. I will deal with this today I am going to try and double up the teflon tape and see if it will seal I cant crank the fitting down any more as it is pulling on the plumbing. OK got rid of the long length of spa flex put in a length of schedule 40  This enabled me to secure it to the structure in the ceiling so it wont pull on the plumbing that is under the tank as this was causing a problem with the previous set up.  The drops are in place and tied in to the ceiling I need a new piece of glass cut for the top of the sump the plumbing was putting pressure on it when it was on the old sump under the tank and broke it around one of the bulk heads  WHOO HOO!!!!!!!! Time to filler up  All right it is up and running the New Bubble King is in place and running But I need to make up more salt water.  Magie Still keeping an eye on things making sure I do it right
