327 gal FOWLR build...in progress

[David@wegetkraken]

Getting ready to start plumbing up our 327 gal FOWLR. Miracles is flying someone down this week to replace the bottom section of the external overflow (found some chips in the drains when I uncrated). Once repaired we'll get it up on the stand and get it plumbed. Already started on the rock work too. Pics to follow...lol

I build themed systems and yes this one is Star Wars inspired..."Dune Sea of Tatooine Tank". Even the custom doors are inspired by the movies. Sump is an Eshopps. I've modded since that pic to PVC slip bulkheads...not a fan of the corrugated piping. Here are some pics of some of the items going into it.

This isn't the sump we're looking for.
Move along.

Have a Zebra Moray on the stocking list for this one and the PVC maze will come with the rest of the plumbing. Anybody else have some Eel maze inspiration pics for me? Going DSB on this build, so most will be hidden either under the rock or the sand. Already named him and haven't even bought him yet....Vader! Lol

Current stocking list in reverse order

Had to pick tank up at freight location in Allentown. This is a 5' x 10' trailer.
