Got the sump delivered tonight. Need to wait a week before running in in the system as it was just completed yesterday and the silicon needs time to setup.

Should give me lots of time to get the plumbing setup. I'm going to try full pvc setup with no flexible tubing. This will be my first crack at it so hopefully it goes ok.

Default Aquascaping

This is an initial shot at getting the base aquascaping in. The end result is bound to look quite a bit different as I still have 50lbs of live rock to add to the system once its flowing.

Also I got the back of the tank painted black...

Thanks Greg, stand is working out well. I'm really glad we went with flat bottom and no feet. I would have next to no room under the tank if we hadn't done that.

Hay Mike you may want to spin the sump around before you do your pumping lol the filter socks on the outside will be way easier to take out and clean

Great point!!! It will make it alot easier to plumb the return lines as well.

Thanks for the heads up.
