Such a nice tank! Looking forward to seeing this set up.
Teardown beginning
Done for today, I'm a whipped old man!
I can wait to see what you do with this setup. It's a beautiful display your going to be so happy with it.
Stand in place and leveled, and sump placed. Time to ask for some help, I'll start another thread for that. 
Ready for leak test. First fill will be tap water, once I fix any leaks I can drain and move back into final position

Looking good Steve! Great looking plumbing work! :Thumbsupa:
Thanks but I can't take the credit, it came with the tank. I just added a few unions for the re-install. Looks like I'll have to scrap the manifold now though, I think I trust the advice not to count on a flex seal repair on a pressure line.
Decided to run a dedicated 20A circuit due to bigger pump, heater, etc. Outdoor box is wired and ready to mount inside cabinet. 
Wire is run to the breaker box, another trip to Lowes to get the breaker and it will be complete.
