So I guess it's about time I got around to doing this. The build isn't done yet, but it's a good start.
This has taken a year so far, and seems like it will have a while to go yet. The very last picture was taken yesterday and was a test fill to check for leaks. Boy how were there leaks. I've finally gotten the bulkheads apart and, when replacements arrive, will try again.
The sump has issues. Lots of issues. The right hand side holds water just fine. The left side, despite seeming solid, lets water flow through like a sieve. I think a 1/2" thick layer of silicone sealer is in it's future
Still lots of equipment to get. At this point I have the pump (a Hygger DC pump), but no lights or anything. Eventually want to have 2-3" of sand (if I can find any these days) and some sort of lighting.
