Here's my tanks location and install. I hooked up a 1,650GPH pump up. Gonna plug it into a remote controlled switch.. so I can turn it on under the tank, instead of going outside, call me lazy
The tank guy installed a larger top and 1/2 connections for the faucet and hard pipe connection while I waited Whole tank cost $180!

Here's some updated picts. And before you guys say something The guys are coming back to adjust the doors so I have no light leaks. The sump is due into my LFS tomorrow. Then plumbing... and maybe an extra structural support under the floor.. running load calculations again as a precaution.

Thanks Jerry, been a long time coming... and dam do I miss the SF fish stores! Our stores out here and sub par.. other than 2 in hte whole tampa bay area... and god help you if you like freshwater. Those store suck! But.. I guess we have parrots and palm trees outside so that makes it feel a bit more tropical
