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.

Well I have found a new pump for my closed loop with the help of a cool cat in Regina, lockrookie.

Hopefully I will not have to change to much of the plumbing from the OM 4 way.

Finished wiring in light timer's today before my cold got the better of me. Just about done now.
