I'm finishing my plumbing this morning so that the heaters can go in the sump and that the tank can be filled completed but you get the idea of where I am right now

Thanks! Here are a few more, first one here is the sump setup, many people like seeing these to get some ideas. I got this sump built out of acrylic and it's 36 long x 20 wide x 18 high

Looking good! How are the power bars affixed over the sump? Also, might not be a bad idea to space your heaters away from each other. When a heating element turns on and they are end to end it will cause the other heater to cut out prematurely.

Looks like a great start!

To answer your question, power bars are affixed using screws into the stand and the heaters are all set to the max and I'm using a controller for them
