Great Pics, Thanks, Greg!!!
I'm curious about why you don't have holes punched in the sides of the standpipes - wouldn't that make it quieter?

Actually, that's just the initial installation for the stanpipes, it's not how they ended up. Even that wasn't very load though. Two 2" drains don't need a lot of quieting even for 2000 gph. All the flow will fit through one of the standpipes, and even that doesn't make a whole lot of noise - relatively speaking.

What do you have in store for lighting greg. I see you have ample space for cooling. I noticed youe netting around your overflow. I would have never thought of that.

Lighting is coming up next. The netting is plastic gutter gaurd sold at most hardware stores.

The camera is there, but I had to swap out the computer and haven't set up the drivers and such on it yet.

The sump is fine. There are a few minor changes I'd make, but nothing significant. It's working out pretty well. I'll go over the changes I'd make as we continue through the thread...
