Ah coffee...going over the cad blue prints I approved and figured out estimated total water volume,
Tank will be 345 with 59 in sump,(60x30x18 with water height at 10 and 6 in the two chambers) so 404 so I will call it 400 gallons..
Sounds like a nice build!
 
It's been rather busy the past month or so Chris. Thank you for noticing that my inappropriate posts have been missed. That made my day!
Well, after being the generous guy you are and buying that sweet tank for @kevgib67 , I imagine you have to work all the overtime you can get.
