I think it was more of me watching it get built, I was in the way more than I helped.

I get nervous filling a tank for the first time in the shop, can't imagine doing it in the house, looking good Bob.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Unfortunately with this one I couldn't test it outside. Oh well, whats 300 gallons if it let go! No worries on this one, Im confident on the build, I've seen quite a few tanks and this one is solid.
