Well I finally have got a good start on the project.Here is a few pictures so far.The tanks are a foot print of 24''x48 Still have not made up my mind on the sump build yet but I have given myself 24'' of space under there to use.

Well I got the tanks drilled.The bottom wholes are for a auto dump.So I can open one value and drain both tank down for a 75% w/c.Note also how tight of a spot this is in all the plumbing has to be in that 5.75" space on the left and all tanks have to be in before I slide the stand over the last time and bolt it to the wall

Looking really good.
Not to derail, but all you used to buff out the scratches was 1200 grit sand paper? I am thinking of doing this to one of my tanks in progress.

No I used 1200 on the deep scratches and then used the buffer with a rubbing compound to buff to a shine after words
