That looks purdy durn good there!
Can't wait to see some pictures of the rest of it...

What are you working with? Steel and concrete blocks?
Are those beams laying directly on the blocks?

I'm not asking to criticize. Just curious...

various pics here seabray building the tank quick build and i was happy with the result..pics of both sumps ,filling the tank about 6-7 hours.and a few of the finished tank . i lagged the sump housing with 100mm insurlation to make it run silent, its turning over 1400l per hour od sounded like a washing machine to start with ,lol ,it now purrs in the back ground, water bit yellow but getting better slowly ,the tanning in the wood is coming out ,took about 2-3weeks to settle down running issues ,condesation with ro water coming in lagging pipes all good fun ,and frustation at times,but worth it in the end..
