The new owner's of the BF are having a wall removed before they get the tank so I would say I have a couple more weeks.

They are doing some reno's to make there living room bigger instead of trying to build a tank into the wall. They decided it would be better to go this way to keep more room open.

Got a little more done tonight. Put the tank back On the stands, put all the bulk heads in and started plumbing my OM 4 way. It is all just dry fit still have to glue it. Also have to plumb the supply line from the tank to the 4 way yet as I forgot to get a couple fitting's. Once this is done it is on to the electrical.

Quite the project, nice job. I've noticed the tray you built for the return pump and haven't read the entire thread, but it looks like a Panworld external pump. Have you considered the possibility of a mishap filling up that tray and submerging your external pump? That could be disastrous. Pretty sure the motor is not waterproof.
