Here is the most current picture. Trim on the living room side is done. New hardwood floor in office and dining room also done. That’s part of the project.

Ok a bit behind but still making progress. Today I ripped down the ceiling in the garage so I could figure out the total amount of feet I need of flex pvc and am working on figuring out which pumps I need to buy now that I know total head pressure. Here is a drawing of the overall design. I plan to order the flex pvc, fittings and pumps on Monday. Just need to shop around for best price.

What are you planning on for pumps? With that much head pressure I would guess something big...

I’m actually working on that right now. It will be a Reeflo pump, just not sure yet which one. I have an email into them to find out which will be the best one for my configuration.

Today I ordered all the flex pvc to connect the sump and aquarium as well as the pumps. I’ll be going with the Reeflo MantaRay.

Some updated pictures. Working on pulling all the pipe through the garage ceiling to the filter room now. Tomorrow I’ll start connecting everything. Oh and the hole under the aquarium had to be enlarged twice!

A small update. Got the plumbing harness built for both wave makers. Next up is connecting the two units to the tank.

Both wave makers connected and all supply and drain lines connected. Now on to the filter room to begin connecting everything on the other end. Hoping to do a leak test this week.
