We took a shortcut of course and didn't use even pressure on the bracing.

Here are a couple of shots of the inside with the external overflows.









There are 6 dedicated lines with only 2-3 boxes on each.

Still looking at sump locations we will put the stuff in and move it around a little while the paint cures in the end will have 7 days of nothing to work on that.

Wow what a great idea. Looks like its going to a mad tank when its finished.

Im wondering, are you going to line the studs on the inside of the horseshoe and waterproof it also?

Good luck with the build and cant wait to see more progress pics

OK everyone. After filling....... and then draining and filling....and then draining again...and filling......and, yep....draining again....it now is water tight and looking awesome. I know somewhere in the previous posts someone didn't think waveboxes would work in a U shape tank.....NOT. Unbelieveable! We have to turn it down or it would go over the sides. The wave goes all around the U to the other side. I am going to video it tomorrow for all to see. There is so much movement in this thing with 2 waveboxes and 2 6100s. Too cool. We are still going to put another 4 6100s in. After the LR is in I would imagine it will tame the flow a little.

Indeed! This is going to be awesome!

Especially since you live about 5 miles from me.

We'll have to meet up sometime, Wayne and Steve. I'll hopefully be able to attend the next MTRC meeting.

Anyways, we need pics and videos!

Well surfs up this am we have to get a video of this you would not believe it. I think I am going to start to put salt and rock in today after going to Jack Daniels house. We might have the fight on and have some friends over and eat some of the brats that we have since our relay for life got washed out last night.

BTW here is a link to my daughters RFL team if anyone is interested.
