Well i have bought most of the plumbing along with building a stand in the basement in the laundry room. The wife thinks it great so that is a plus :mrgreen:

Will try to get some pictures in there tonight.

I have the lighting in MH 20 K and the actinic of 2x36 " T-5's along with the plumbing done.

Tested with FW and not a single leak. And mark out the place for my float switch. Man that 3MD -SC is quite the srong pump at 13' of head of flex hose. Was impressed with the flow.



Put some sand in tonight and will place some more tomorrow night after i receive the rest from Doug. :mrgreen: Thanks Doug......
