Have you received the sump yet? If so how is the quality?

 

[asonitez]

The sump is being delivered Tuesday. So I'm going to have a challenge pivoting the tank away from the wall to slide the sump into the stand.

The tank delivery is locked in for Friday and I'm moving the stand into place tonight. The sump is going to get it's own video as will the tank. I was hoping beyond hope that it would arrive before the tank but truck drivers can only drive so many hours and it is coming from wayyyyyyy across the country lol.

I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, you have a great speaking voice. That stand looks really clean and square, one thing that you would've struggled with if you were working with wood.

Can't wait to see the sump.

Hey thanks for the best wishes! I'm glad your enjoying the videos.

Alright tanks gonna be here early tomorrow morning. Time to get this stand in the house. That was easy enough with a dolly and some engineering magic.

If I don't like how that ceiling fan looks I'm going to replace it with a smaller one or maybe even a nice modern chandelier.

I'm still undecided if I will build a canopy for this tank but given the amount of lights I plan to use I think a canopy would look nicer and neater.

Well its here! The full video of the delivery and lift will be uploaded tonight and a link dropped here. I'm editing it now. Everything went well! My LFS Did an AMAZING job of getting the tank off the truck and into the house! Fantastic display of professionalism and skill from fellow hobbyists!

My flooring is thick hardwood on a concrete slab. Glued NOT floating. Think I will still have a problem?

Yes! 100% How do i know this? $15,000.00 in new tile flooring! don't do it. Change it while you still can. Water will spill. Wood floors warp! Especially when glued onto concrete slab. Heed my warning.

Finally Picked out my Refugium and Refugium options! Also Plumbing arrived!!!!!!!!

[asonitez]

Decided against full hard plumbing due to some tight turns and constraints. Flex PVC to the rescue!
