They showed me your tank as an option... I ordered a 36*30*24 LWH tank and the guy was like “it’s only $120 to do the cube!”

I was tempted.. following along! How do you like the tank?

I’m loving the tank so far still have a ways to go but it’s coming along nicely thus far good luck with what you purchase as well.

Got some of the plumbing in this past week coming along nicely I think.
 
Is the ball valve on the left drain for the control of water so you can make it quiet? If so, you may want to replace it with a gate valve to get finer tuning

yeah I'm going to try out the ball valve and see how it does if it doesn't perform how i like then i will step up to a gate valve most likely.
