I'm a little annoyed with myself because I didn't order big enough pieces of glass for the euro bracing. I just ordered what the garf calculator said and went on my way. I was busy with other stuff so it is what it is I guess. Well 200 dollars in glass wasted. I think I'll put the two inch along the front overlapping the top brace and front panel pike a 90 degree cap.

Finally got some time to set the front and back braces. Give it a day then I will do the side pieces. I also pulled out the panel bottom shims and did the final injection of silicone on the inside. Almost ready to get wet. On the good side of things the silicone has cured very well on the rest of it. Once side braces go on tomorrow I'll wait until there is zero vinegar odor probably a week. Then its water testing time.

Going to cut the return feed pipe and install some flexible pipe. I was getting a lot of harmonics from the sump wall the bulkhead is attached to.
