[RVJ]

Is the tank going to be pushed against a wall? If so it seems like a pita to get to some of the plumbing if needed... ie check valve etc

What size is the PVC on the returns?

Nice job on that manifold!! Real clean

We will have to take a look at that...thanks for the heads up.

The returns are 1" and James did do a very nice job.

now im really confused.

When I started this thread it was my intention to give James credit for the build. So to clear matters up. It's my (RVJ's) tank rebuild and James created the plumbing magic. The pictures i have posted at the beginning are from the items i have bought to add to this tank and inevitably will be added. I hope this clears up this confusion for you LB.
