I may try to work a closed loop in, or I might just drop some powerheads in. Either way, I'd like to set up some wave action. I like the closed loop with the simple alternating valve... I added some more pics to the blog, finished up the base of the stand today. I still have all five fingers and toes! Me and power equipment don't always work well together...

Now I've got to do some new household projects that don't involve the tank. I'll be back at it in a couple days to start on the plumbing...
I really appreciate any input, I'd like to do things the best way I can from the beginning rather than have to modify stuff later on...
