So far so good Jered. Did you have fun getting the stand welded back together?  |

I'll be ready to put the tank in place next weekend. I also had a great buy on ebay. I won a total of 7 1 1/2" sch 80 true union ball valved for a little less than $80 Shipped. They are Hayward valves. |

The room is 10x11 and is getting small. The tank and stand take up about 33% of the room.
Tanks again for Kyle, Dustin, and Chad for helping load the tank Fri evening. Sat did go as well. While carring the tank arround the house to the Lower walkou my Dad tore a bicep musle and he went down in pain. He went to the emergency room here in Cambridge and spen the better part of the evening. He will be getting a MRI on monday to see how much damage was done. So, Mike , my uncle, and I managed to get the tank inside and on the stand. I wasn't easy.
I spent the better part of today plumbing the system up and started a partial fill to test pumping for leaks. So far so good.
Here is some updated pics.

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see it up and running. So you actually had to cut the stand in half and then put it back together in your house?!?!
