WaterBox 6026 build

[Kloned]

Hello

I started my build thread but I think I did it in the wrong section of the forum. So I will update all progress here. And get this thread up to date!.

tank being delivered!

 

[Kloned]

Got the tank in the house. Not going to use the original stand. I have a custom Bashsea sump being made and it just won’t fit in the stock stand.

 

[Kloned]

I originally drew up a couple different ideas for the stand. And sent them off to my steel guy

Problem was I sent him the wrong drawing

Luckily my powder guy made the quick fix and we where good to go!

Over the next couple weekend equipment started rolling in for the build.

Took everything away from the wall and gave it a fresh coat of paint

 

[Kloned]

Got my to very large 165 gallon water tanks in. 1 for RODI water and 1 for mixed salt for my auto water changes. Have them mostly plumed in now in my basement. Still need to get a couple peace’s of treated lumber to build a small standfor the pump to set on.

I goto take a tour of bashsea last week. What an amazing place. My only problem is I only took 1 picture the hole time I was there.

now for the rest of the goodies!.

And that pretty much gets us caught up to today. Where I have I think 9 more packages coming in for this build.
