[Srt4eric]

if no one has one, Neptune has of variety of plumbing pieces on hand.

I hate paying the ridiculous mark up on plumbing fittings that all lfs charge.

Plus that 60 gallon sump you sold me. I'm figuring 80-90 gallons should do it.

Leak test successful!!! Now I'm draining it and set it in its final position.

Now I guess I have to clean my garage a bit...

That will be an awesome sump for that tank!

Having a tank in the garage can be a net positive... makes you think about updating the rest of the space. We ended up plugging a lot of outside air leaks that were causing it to be colder than it needed to be during the cold months.

Lol, in my case, my garage just got messier

Hey Eric your work is super clean and quality. I previously had a garage unfinished like yours and man did the temperate swing a lot based on climate. I ended up moving my frag tank out the garage until I finished it with drywall. You may really want to consider drywall that garage and shoving some R13 in the wall. Really makes a huge difference. I personally went to the next level and went double sheet of “x” rated drywall. 1.5 inch thick!!

where can you get salt water delivered for that initial fill? How much does it cost? I am going to have to fill about 160 gallons with the sump included. My previous plan was to make a few trips since I’m close enough to Neptune with a 48 gallon Rubbermaid “brute”

I need to increase the infill on these. Two I made with 99% infill don't float. All the others do.

Can you drill and allow water to fill in? Or will the material float still

Shows how much I remember from printing stuff just a few months ago...The 3D honey comb one is sweet, I did a cube with that and it was awesome to watch print

All things considered I'm really kicking myself for not trying for that lowboy we had at the last frag swap auction that someone donated.

Lots of updates on this lately but hey, I'm excited!!! The saltwater is in!!!
