Large new build.

Update. It's been extremely humid in the Northeast. I have my sealant ready to spray when we get a break for a few weeks. Probably sometime in September/October.
 
Where in the Northeast are you? MA here. If you're within a couple hours drive I'd be happy to give you a hand if/when needed.... Your ambition on this build amazes me so getting an opportunity to see it close up would be cool.

30 miles north of New York City. so pretty far I think
 
I need to figure in a large water polishing filter before my final chamber. Something easily swapped daily if necessary. Gunk seems to build up quite quickly, and seems to compound if you don't stay on top of it. I can't sleep tonight. [emoji42]
 
Been following this since the beginning. I really love it. It is quite ambitious. I am in White Plains so probably pretty close to you.

 
I will be back at it soon. I did a job for a local fiberglass company, they are going to completely fiberglass my sump. They will use a food grade epoxy, then I will spray my rubber liner over that for double protection.
 
So I had my friends over from, think fiberglass. I was originally going to do the entire sump, but the cost was just too high for material. So I had them do all the important joints and corners and seams. Now I'm going to do some electrical work, close off the ceiling and then spray my rubber liner over the entire system.

Nice! A question for you, how bad was the smell in the house?
 
Mother of all sumps! Your going to have to run some pool pumps to get the correct gph for this bad boy.
My dream build is actually a 1500 gallon lagoon so gonna follow and see what a build this big takes
