Camshaft's New Fish Room/DIY 55 gallon Sump (Load Warn.)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Question for everyone;

I am setting up 4 rows of 4 bricks on each side with cinderblocks.
You think I get away with 3 on each side....?

Sooo.. 6 columns or 8?

I was set to put 32 bricks up, but I like the look of 24.
 
Yes that too. With four stacks, getting to the sump will be quite difficult. I just want to make sure that 6 columns of cinderblock four blocks high can hold 2100-2500lbs ok.
 
He made them (it). It is made from plastic peg board from Lowes (HD does not carry it).
 
Got a little further today. (quick camera phone pics)

I had to go with the pinwheel combination with my block set up. I didn't want them all facing the same way, but I didn't have room to make "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" on the sides (inward facing C's). Ehh....

Also put Styrofoam on top of the blocks to even them out for the plywood.

Also they are stacked 5 high instead of the planned 4. I'm a little iffy with the hight. I didn't have room for the plumbing I made. It's a little high. Now the tank will be eye level and you can't see the crappy top to the tank. So that's a plus, I guess.

Got my three holes drilled for the overflow.

I also got a smaller one drilled for the pump. Plus I cut out a corner for the pump cord.
