Nevin's 14G + 5.5G sump

[Nevin]

Slow progress on modifying the stand as I've been obsessed with plumbing. The bowfront poses an interesting woodworking challenge. My first attempt is basically diy plywood--laminating together strips of oak veneer around a curve. Looks like I'll need 6+ plies to get it thick enough. I'm laminating the first 3 plies today to see how it looks.

Hope it works!

Looks good.

See why you where thinking about running the pump external with a 175W.

I have used mag pumps for returns as well as Quiet One pumps and I personally prefer the Quiet One pumps. They may not last as long as a MAG but are way cheaper, quieter and give off much less heat. I would prefer to replace it every two years than use a MAG pump again. Thats just my experience though.

GreenSpottedPuffer,

That's good to hear as I was leaning toward the Quietone 1200 as a cheaper option. Do you know where to get them locally?

Thanks,
Nevin

J&L sells Quiet One's. Not sure about the 1200 but I just bought a 3000 two weeks ago there.

Not on their website--just the bigger Quietones. Anyone know where to get the 1200 in the Lower Mainland? Sorry if this is a duplicate post--first one didn't show up.

Regards,
Nevin

In my opinion I wouldn't use that liquid tight conduit. It's just a raceway for wires. Its designed to keep water out, not hold it in. The manufacturing process uses oil to form the metal inside to provide mechanical protection for the wires.
