Grizz's 8' shallow sea

[fishytime]

Lookin good Greg!......I noticed the beautifully cut holes in the plywood under the tank..... I would think about going bigger with those holes....when I cut my openings I left 1" from the outside edge of the bulkhead and it is very difficult to get a wrench in there for that last 1/4 turn you need to "seat" the bulkhead

Oh that will happen once the tank comes off after all the plumbing is done. I am making sure that all the plumbing can come apart & so that the bulkheads can be removed. That way the tank can slide off stand and onto sawhorse's so I can finish the wood work.

So I pulled the tank off the stand tonight and cut the bulk head hole's bigger with a jigsaw to allow better access. Also went to Totem & Home Hardware to pick-up the remaining trim, hardware & some stain to finish the stand.

Decided to go with a OM 4 way for the closed loop, should have it hopefully Monday, as well as the bulkheads. If all goes well tank will be operational by next weekend.

More pics to come soon.
