So because im building the tank on my driveway the rain has got me delayed until it decides to go away but......
I did get onto some of the plumbing as it is just under the edge of my roof to stay dry during light rain, now this was a challenge as the PVC size built into this fibreglass tank is no longer made apparently and i could not find it anywhere so i got the closest size possible and had to use the heat gun method (thanks to my mate for helping me with the heating while i fitted the pvc) in customizing the size of the PVC. I actually reduced the size of the 4 outlets on bottom of the tank to then be able to fit over the new size as a bush so to speak to be able to cap 2 outlets and run 2 t pieces off the other 2, the 2 t pieces then reduced to act as sort of a venturi to help increase my air lift power, although not done the best way possible im still estimating like a 9000Lph(2377gph) flow rate per lift depending the head height i run at.
Notice 1 airlift T piece is not fitted yet as my plumbing shop had none left so still trying to acquire 1 more.

This is my first ever attempt at an Airlift system so kinda winging it lol... For those wondering why im using a T piece on the outlet instead of a 90 degree elbow. Iti s purely for the air stone to sit in under the flow of water as to not restrict any flow by sitting in the area in which water flows, i have uploaded a pic here to show.
Let's see this bad boy!
Looks like you could swim with ur fish and take underwater vids now.
