Oh sure!!! I had to wait weeks to get my pumps and now it seems like EVERYONE is getting them like going to the store for bread

Are you going to run them externally Steve? When I read the instruction manual it only said submerged

wow, looks like you have put some thought into the plumbing. I want to read the book you wrote. do you have a diagram that explains the why, how and what you did in the fish room?

Thanks guys, no book but the process is somewhat documented in this build thread

The dc pumps are running internally. Had them external at one point but they leaked.

Here's the stand in place, thanks to Grizz!





I didn't want a center post or bottom rail as this way I can easily add the fridges and rack below.

Picked up the new return pumps. These seem to be what all the cool kids are talking about these days do I guess we'll see.





Hoping to pick up the new overflow box tomorrow.
