well i got the sump baffles siliconed in place stand made for the skimmer and plumbed will be water testing the plumbing this weekend hung the canopy
Looking good. Was it hard to find glass and was it expensive?
not to bad i used to work at a glass plant i cut it my self on break so the cost wasnt bad as it was out of scraps when plant make thick glass the size usally is 96x130 so if there a defect in it at 56" the whole piece goes to the crusher nothing wrong with the rest just that defect was larger than customers specs so my glass is defect free getting from a local glass shop would have cost a ton around here but you live in annarbor which is a larger market probly have bigger shops it might be cheaperOriginally Posted by Paulo
some updated pics some updated pics im water testing the plumbing no leaks but the drain design isnt keeping up with the mag 12 and i let my cousin borrow the 9.5 i turned the T it keeps up now but is loud so i need to work on that a bit

I am soo jealous, that is one sick looking set up. Can't wait to see more!
Do plan on keeping the canopy elevated like that? Looks awesome, love the open top look with hovering lights.
Do you also plan to scape some rock up and out of the surface like that? Very unique, I like it a lot.
