Well if spring can get here I can finish the stand!

In the mean time I have decided to make some changes and upgrades to the sump room. I have decided to move the sump to the wall right opposite the crawl space. This is where it should have been all along. I didn't put it there because I had some old built in shelving.

So I ripped it all out. Painted the wall and floor, put some studs in the cement so I can mount my drain lines. Now to build a new stand to hold my NEW SUMP and skimmer!

I went with an advanced acrylics custom sump. PVC and acrylic. It will be clear and white with red weld. I will be using red PVC with grey fittings.

Here are a few pictures of the sump (work in progress)

So as I get into it I will post some pics. My goal is set sump, Skimmer and a deep blue 80 up and get it running. I will have the drain lines ran to the upstairs and the return will be a simple swap.

I will keep the other stuff running while swapping out the tanks upstairs and then will sell the 60 rimless and 75 I have on that side.

Skimmer and sump are already sold.
