Rad dude. So you just have a pump in the sump pumping into the new tank and it gravity feeds back?

I think the best part of your amazing looking tank is the beautiful wood-skin you have on your stand. I mean you're a skilled carpenter so why wouldn't you finish it off. Impressive

Thats the idea... I have an OR 2500 that I will use for the return...for now....thinking on drilling the sump and and doing a dart with a manifold to feed things, but that an upgrade that will have to come later...

Have you been talking to my g/f, Brett??? Thats exactly what she keeps bugging me about....."when is the stand gonna get skinned?".....my excuses are numerous......some of which include; "I do carpentry all day....I dont wanna do it when I get home", "Im workin seven days a week and doing household chores and keeping up with the tank. When am I supposed to skin the stand" and my personal favorite excuse " you know when you have an old Camaro with the engine all supped up and chromed.....and you leave the hood off so people can see the engine in all its beauty....thats what this is like"

we have the exact same tank, except mine has no budget and yours is much bigger, its nice to be able to plumb smaller tanks into bigger ones. cant wait to see how this one turns out.
