Jeepers DC addiction
I'd sure like to see this monster running in person when it's done, but that won't happen. Any travelling time is spent out of the country

Looking awesome Gregster

Thanks Gregzz, I do like me some DC pumps, even my new skimmer is a DC pump.

Thanks Tai, I want the inside of the stand to look as good as I hope the outside will....

Oh boy the plumbings look sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Won't you be using that sump with lots of baffles that you designed?

As soon as my new skimmer arrives I will be fitting it and installing as many baffles as I can plus 3 - 7" filter socks.

Very nice build, are you installing baffles with the sump under the stand or removing the sump to do it?

Also it's not filled yet but in the pics I notices a piece of wood supporti g the sump but it doesn't go all the way. I guess you will be adding a piece to it later....

Wow Greg! That looks awesome so far! Quite the plumbing masterpiece too!

sphelps · #**188** 07-12-2013, 04:08 PM

I can't believe how many valves this tank has

Coming alone nicely though, the plumbing sure looks pretty.

That is a piece of 1/2 styrofoam that will be replaced with a full 8' sheet when I pull the sump out to install the baffles.

It has been a challenge, I was going to use some 1" flex hose instead of all the 45* elbows but when I realized I was able to hard pipe it I was much happier with the out come.

The more valves the more control, I can cut the flow off in many areas for servicing the pumps or the check valves. Once everything is glued and straightened it will look just the way I have in-visioned it.
