Grizz's 8' shallow sea

[mike31154]

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.

Ya I have thought of that but hopefully it will all work the way I have planned. The tray is just to catch any water that might spill if I have to pull a pump out. If all the plumbing is sealed correctly there should be no mishaps.

Me to, it will be a challenge to move from the shop to the house in one piece as I hope to do. I don't want to have to take the bulkheads out to pull the tank off the stand so it will take at least 6 of us to move it in.
