Got my tank!

Stand is coming together nicely. Need to do lateral supports and then install the 55g sump so I can start mocking up plumbing.
I swear this must be the fastest build thread I've ever seen on MFK. On 9-6 You acquired and repaired the frame of the tank. Here It is 9-8 and You have an Almost complete stand, sump and stock list . congratulations! and 
for nice clean work.
for nice clean work.
Got the Overflow dry fitted right now. Looks alright so far. 1.5" PVC should keep up with about 1k gph nicely. Just need to figure out a strainer.
My friend gave me a good idea on how to limit the amount of water that goes into the tank if my overflow fails. On the left you can see a piece of acrylic along the egg crate, I am going to keep the water level about 1'' above that, if my overflow fails my pump will only put about an extra 5-8gallons into the tank. I am going to make that area smaller somehow.
Tested the tanks today and my overflow and pump. I need a new pump as this one only works if u hit it after its plugged in.
