My 900 gallon 4 tank system will start being built next week.

Nope, im using 2x6 lumber for the decking.

Hey this is a purely aesthetic suggestion. When its all complete why not take some lumber and attach it to the metal stand and then cut drywall to fit the openings for the tanks and finish it off with some simple framework. Since it wouldnt be supporting anything it should be accomplished easily. Either way it's gonna be a sweet setup. That is a massive Protein Skimmer, Good luck!

2 more picture of the plumbing through the wall and overhead to where the tanks will be... Also 1 pic showing half the support anchors on the other side of the wall. These are there to support the stand as it had some side to side rocking that I didn't like. It might not have moved with the tanks on it, but better safe than sorry.

Also, I just got confirmation that my new tanks will be here this Friday evening so I will have more pictures and updates this weekend. With any luck I will be able to fill them up this weekend and give it a run with fresh water before I add the salt and the old water, and start to move my livestock.

UPDATE:
Tanks came in and I got them in place and 90% of the plumbing hooked up. Since I don't have easy access to the backs I had to put the upper tanks in first, then connect the drains and install the lower tanks one at a time until the drains are all connected. I tested all the bulkheads for leaks by filling up the overflow area. Tightened up the loose bulkheads and now im beat.

Oh yeah I am screwed if the bulkheads ever leak or need replacing. lol

Next step is to connect all the drain lines to the sump, connect the pumps, then water test time. God I hope the bulkheads dont ever leak.. lol

Here are the pictures in order.
