    Yes, I should have the whole system set up and plumbed by next weekend. At this point though I'm not automating my draining just my filling. Not ready to drill tanks at this point. Actually I think I could parrallel park my wifes car in there!

    Those tanks are not drilled...are they? So you syphon water out of each tank individually for water changes, etc?

    It looks like you are coming along pretty good. We've got to get over and see it. Do you have all your tanks out there yet or just the one rack?

    Yes, for the time being I will continue to syphon by hand with an 1800gph pump on the other end, so trust me it's not slow!I just don't want to drill glass at this time. I have 2 racks out there now and plumbed but what has taken up all my time the last 2 days is the overflows on the storage tanks and the plumbing of the manifold around the pump. This plumbing process is more challenging than I expected! More measuring, cutting, priming and gluing than you can imagine! I'm having a blast!I'll have some good pics tonight because I didn't take any yesterday so keep your on here tonight!
