Grizz's 8' shallow sea

I could have used a couple more hrs sleep but it was nice to have my girls here. Went add picked up some of the plumbing part's I needed today but not going to work on it tonight. I am now thinking of doing a closed loop on the tank as well.

So I think I am going to do a closed loop on this system using a OM 4 way & a pump with about 2500 gph. Just have to find someone who is willing & has the right size bits to come out to my place & drill 1 - hole for a 1 1/2" bulk head & 4 - hole's for 1" bulk head.

Going to do the plumbing for the overflow's, return pump & UV sterilizer today so I will add pics later.

Thanks Chase, we are holding up ok. Still don't know what is wrong but thing's have improved and should know tomorrow. The wife was exhausted and was able to get some sleep but I was up all night just in case the phone rang and we had to leave in a hurry.

So here is an update.

I started the plumbing for the sump today getting the return line done:

Then I built my durso standpipes for dual corner overflows:

And finally I did the overflow to sump line's:

Next will be the 30w UV that I have to figure out where it will go so it is not in the way of the closed loop I have planned. Still need to find a 45mm & 65 mm glass drill bit that are not to expensive to drill for the loop.
