I have been holding off putting the sides on my stand because I could not think of a good way to make them so I can get in and out of there to change the the filter socks and do maintenance. I thought of magnets, big doors, sliding doors but all of the would not give me easy access. We'll that brings me to my next thing I am going to drill holes in my floor and run the pipes into my basement. I am looking into using a small 8 x 6 x 2 pool as my sump. If I do this I can just wrap the tank and use magnets to hold the sides on the stank. Also I can make my sump much bigger, I am looking at going from a 125 to 800-1200 gallons. Also I wouldn't have to worry about spilling water on the floor and it will be so easy to do maintenance. A small pool is the cheapest think I can think of is there something else people use? Also anyone have any suggestions on pumps? I am going to run 2 inch pvc straight up and just go over the back with the pvc to reduce head pressure. I am going to need at least 6000 gph after head loss.
