Loving your tank. My tank is almost same dims just two feet shorter. I have some questions. Is your house on a slab? Also those steel plates are those just for the moving or something permanent?

my house sits on concrete and dirt. those steel plates are for moving purpose only. protection against the floor. mostly those hydraulic equipment. heavy metal wheels.

Have you plumbed your rollermat in yet? CoralVue has all the metric stuff if you don't want to use the US adaptors, they have pipe too in small sections.

Yeah I bought the adapters too but they kinda suck, the bulkhead for the emergency drain is cut to 1/2" And the bulkhead for the input takes away the pipe that sits inside the rollermat to disperse the flow. I'm planning on ordering all metric stuff to use all the plumbing the way it was designed, was only gna be about $30 or so

No output noise, here is how I did mine. The plug at the top is just hand loose, it allows air out but blocks any noise you might hear in the pipe.

The sump is delayed for another week. Bah.. Can't do any plumbing. Taking the time to add more electrical outlets around the room. Drilled some holes for RODI line and bought a Spectrapure Maxcap. also wired a Cat6 cable to the tank for APEX.
some more goodies arrived..
plumbing parts.. wanted white and red tank for years but somehow ended up with all black. Black wall, black tank, black sump, red pipes

so the Gyre 280 standalone unit is still out of order.. this got me thinking about switching to Vortech MP60s. The only pump that won't have any wires inside the tank, which I really dislike.
What do you guys think? 2 Gyre 280s or 5 MP60s. (I know gyre quality)
I also have 4 seaswirls for returns.
2 MP60 on each side and 3 on back wall? over kill?

Have you thought about Panta Rhei?

You should talk to some Abyzz pump users. It might be what you are looking for.
