    Good idea or Bad idea? PVC pluming question.

    I'm still not sure weather or not to place the valve under the table or on the side of the tank, as of right now i'm leaning towards under the tank with the sump.

    Good idea or Bad idea? PVC pluming question.

    Yea, ill do that, easy peace, because let's be honest, it's absolutely worth a little extra work to have the valve there in my opinion. Btw the entire bench is metal painted white except for the back plate and top, lucky me!
