Next step was done! I wanted a good way to contain the electronics from the water. For those of you following along I decided to change my plan and go the IKEA route. I am so happy how it turned out! I will drill a hole on the wall side with a desk grommet for the wires to go through. Check it out

Very nice I love the shelf I have been trying to find something very similar to that to store my supplies in.Next step was done! I wanted a good way to contain the electronics from the water.

Try IKEA web site they have that exact shelf unit in 3 or 4 different sizes. The one I have is the smallest one. I'm getting another for the other side

Some more pics I forgot to post yesterday. I have to clean the rear overflow box up from the gray overspray
Nice bet you can't wait to get it wet and start your cycle.

Yes it's killing me. I'm a 911 dispatcher so I only really work on the tank on my days off if I'm not working OT. I really don't want to put any livestock in there until I return from my honeymoon Nov 1. I told my fiancé they might as well land the plane in the LFS parking lot

Some more progress today. I got the main drain painted and plumbed as well was the backup drain. The emergency drain and return are dry plumbed and will be glued and painted 2moro. I'm not much of a plumber so it took me all day to complete. Some of the pipes are a little crooked cuz of the lack of space and I did not want to cut into the stand. I went with a mix of soft flex tubing and hard plumb so that I had more flexibility. I have a 1" gate valve on my main drain and a 1/2" gate valve on my return. I want to be able to have the option to scale down from either side is need be. The main drain is 1" pvc and return is 3/4" off the return pump reduced to the 1/2" bulk head. The emergency drain sits well above where the water line will be in my sump chamber so I can here it if it's draining water. The secondary drain line is into my return section and will below the water line. Here's a bunch of pics. Go easy on me like I said I'm definitely no plumber hahahah
