So the building has begun! The tank came absolutely disgusting, so it took a while to clean and get it filled.
I got the majority of the plumbing done, but I have a few things to finish up tomorrow. Here are a few shots from todays work.
The tank before I cleaned it. This took almost 2 hours and 3 guys to clean, and it still isn't perfect.
The plumbing in the basement.
The plumbing at the fish tank
The 55g sump doesn't have any baffles in it yet, so for the purposes of testing the plumbing and trying to just fill it with water to try and clean it some more, it is just going to run straight.
Tomorrow, I am going to hook up the connections to the tank (dual overflows drilled in bottom) and get the sump up and running!
