:rollface: The back legs are solid 4x4's, but they are not installed yet in the pics......had to take them out to get the sump slid in.
thanks for the concern.

I had this rock from a 90 gal I had about 5 years ago. I put it in buckets 5 years ago & has been in my garage. Man... it still smelled bad after all those years.
At my concrete plant I have a boiler that produces hot water for cold weather concrete, so today I put all this rock in a trash can & ran 200 degree water through it for at least 30 min. (Until the trash can buckled from the heat!) Took the smell out!! Im going to use it for base rock for tank & sump. Aprox. 100 # here.

Refugium with sand in it. I cut slots in the 1'' pipe & ran it along the bottom of the tank. It will be covered with sand. (Sand filter?)

Tank is coming right along. The first time I saw my tds meter say 000 I jumped up and down, literally.
