| Re: The 180gal Family Project Thanks, Al. That's what I meant by "cross braces". I don't know construction at all. Tommy builds elevators for a living so he knows what he's doing.
We ordered our sump return pump and it should be here tomorrow or Saturday. All we need is the last bulkhead and strainers and we can get to plumbing. Although, I must admit that I really want to re-work some stuff so the tank we were going to use as a QT can be plumbed into the whole system and used as a clown tank with an RBTA, put the 47 in the "electrical closet" and use that one as the QT tank instead - it's larger anyway. If we do that, then we have to change the wall we were going to put the system on and re-arrange the whole living room, run phone wire and install a new phone jack for the satellite since the tv would have to be on a different wall and get new lamps...I'm seriously considering it.
