Almost all equipment has been purchased, plumbing is complete (except for final bulkhead gluing). Sump interior has been painted (Appliance Epoxy White). Sump fans have been installed. Waiting for pressure testing (will do after the final bulkhead assembly which will occur when I move the system to the final placement). Im wiating for final testing on my rock to aquascape.
