We just picked up our sump/fuge today from Dan.
He did a fantastic job. A huge THANKS to Dan for helping us out.

We can now start the plumbing adventure on the 210 and get water in this beast. It has been painful staring at this tank and not being able to go any further until we got the sump but it was very much worth the wait.
For those of you who have offered some water from your tank, we will be talking soon.
Here's a pic of Dan's work.

Dan definitely does excellent work.
Several of the SA stores stock and special order his items.
He's a busy guy but I'm glad that we went ahead and had him build one for us.
When we went to discuss the dimensions and such, he had at least 8 items to build for the LFS around SA before he could get to ours. Like I said before, it was definitely worth the wait to get exactly what we wanted.

We are real excited about getting the tank up in the near future.
Sounds like a 10 trip run to Home Depot and Lowe's tomorrow.

We need a 24hr. plumbing store. :lol

Very nice! They always look so nice & shinny when they are new :D

Hint on plumbing: Just find a MAAST member that put a tank together in the last 6 months, they will have lots of "spare" PVC parts ;)

Theres always room for pvc. We could've put Wendy in the trunk. :lol
Fear not- we will be back again and help you rid yourself of the excess.
We would hate to see that stuff in your way any longer than necessary. ;)

:blink LOL...heyyyyy.

BTW, thank you for letting us see that awesome set up of yours in person, Steve! ...not to mention those sweet pugs, cute Irish Setter pup, AND the prairie dogs. The prairie dogs surprized me in particular, as I've never seen anyone with them as pets. Waaayyy cute, and friendly! :D

Awww, shucks :blush ^_^

Well, we certainly enjoyed the visit even though it was a short one :D Maybe next time we are in the area without frags and a sump in the car, we can visit a little longer.
