That looks amazing ! Jason did the plumbing in the tank and friends from my area will plum to the sump. He has done a few so I'm in good hands. I think they are just as excited as we are LOL

 

[NC2WA]

You defiantly get points for leaving the shrink wrap. What a temptation. Looking good Karen yes we are almost as excited as you are.

 

[Coralczy]

[NC2WA]

Meaning, sump,was made by Jason? If so then u have a great build.. after 7 yrs, I still love my tank and sump from him.

Great sump....wannareef?

Is the continuous overflow a reference to the overflow design itself, (like a coast to coast/end to end design) or am I missing something?

Yes end to end and top to bottom.
On CFI Jason has some really good pictures of the back plumbing

Got to take the shrink wrap off :clap2:



Plumbing done



Leak test of the sump and back chamber. Mike the very talented plumbing expert, making sure all is good.



We just need to shore up under the house and get more info on if all the weight is or isn't going to crack the tile
Make lots of water , add sand , rock . Transfer everything over, then enjoy !
