From what i hear, he doesnt have his blowholes fired up yet. Spinner doesnt actually get tanks wet, he just likes to paint PVC pretty colors...

KPie am wondering, in looking at the first pic, why dont you have some PVC fittings lying around, if you need a few 90's or 45's i can hook you up....

I have got less money wrapped up in my entire system (to date) than Spinner has wrapped up in paint and gate valves!!!!!!

So the last month has flown by and here is what has been happening, My ex-wife passed away at the very young age of 47 so that was an issue for me regarding our children. My Grandson was up from Bonners Ferry ID for his first birthday with my son and his wife, and I have worked a bit of overtime ( to pay for that rock spinner,lol). equiptment and supplies are comming in here and there ( 7 200g boxes of reef crystals...I love sales) and the major problem has been cleaning out the gargage. below is a "before" actually "during" pic with the wall half cleaned out already it WAS 8 foot high boxes all the way wall to wall. I took a total of 2 trips ( truck loads) to goodwill, 3 to the back shed and one to the house for the wife to sort.

today I have lungs and eyballs full of drywall dust and it looks like this so far. ( man the previous ownner missed alot of screws)
Peppie ( my son) will be helping me with most aspects of the carpenty so I look forward to actually being able to post pics of the final product compared with what I may come up with myself lol.

How many feet of that wall are you going to use?
Are you going to stack some of those 7 sumps one on top of the other?
How long is your return line going to be? 5'? 7'? 14'?
With 600gal of sump water in your garage are you going to vent out the humid air?
Do you think your sweeties car will rust when she parks in there in the winter?

My fishroom will be walled off from Nellie's parking spot.
Most of those questions will need to be answered before I build you mult-platform sump holder.

I cant wait to draw lines all over your freshly painted wall!
Looks like your 90 deg. elbow that will feed your CL pump is going to be less than 15'' away from the inlet of the pump. Cavitation??????

c'mon Dave, you should know that I've got it all figured out!
the dual 1 1/2 closed loop supply lines will feed into 2 inch before the elbow and that elbow will be about 20 inches away from the inlet.
