Well had to do it. Went out grabbed a new toy so it was time to start!!
So I was going for a different style instead of stacking 2 boards and having to try and figure out the base to lay out the bottom for the sump. Made it a little tricky but super sturdy and still have 6 braces to add in.
With everything going on tank was drilled peninsula style with short side having the overflow blacked out behind the overflow to still conceal the plumbing. Tank still needs returns drilled and back painted. All in all so far digging the look.
I'll keep updating as I go. Tune in for more tomorrow!
Made some small progress lol. Had a buddy help throw the sump under to see how it looks. Started plumbing the return. Waiting for 1in ball valves to come in to run the rest and still have to drill the return. It will go from 1in and reduce to 3/4 at the tank return hole. DCP 8000 for the return pump. I do have 1in drains and the sump is a beast. Gonna have maybe one sine flow gyre in the tank otherwise flow will be good from the returns. Once I mock the plumbing up I will need to glue and finish the stand.
So now who is good with wood working and has some time possibly to help a brotha out lmao....hahaha
