LOL
Sorry for your dilemma Kid hang in there man it'll get better!
I went with the tubing because I will be changing sumps. I have to use a temporary sump while I make the 55 into the permanent one. Plus it will make it much easier to move and set up again if need be.
WOOHOO the pump will be here 2moro!!!
And the light fixture will be here Monday

C-mon jas,
It's saturday, you should have the pump going by now. That is if the mail man didn't mess you up.
I have had plenty of beer and I want to hear that the system runs like a dream. A quiet, peacefull one.

2day may be Sat. but it's my Wed.
I have to go in at midnight. But Mon. at 8:00am I'm off for 9 DAYS!!!!

I ran into a bit of a snag with the temporary sump. I need another 90 and the plumbing supply store (only place that has them) is closed until Mon.

Pretty sad I'm taking a week off just to be here with the new baby (tank) 24-7 for its first week of life. Well, not 24-7 I'll be doin ALOT of fishin too. The Bitterroot River is a 5 min drive

What type of trout will you be going for?
It isn't sad that you will be off for a week. C-mon man.
Are you a OTR or a local driver?

I must admit I have never enjoyed a trout. I would love nothing more then to go fly fishing and enjoy the rewards. OOHHH.
Nice, local. I have had wild thoughts of the wife and I doing a team deal. For nothing else but to see the country side. Man I have scene some of the most beautifull pics from guys on the road.

You haven't had one the way I cook 'em

Teams make good money if you can handle being gone all the time. I made a personal choice to let the "extra" money go and be at home more, ya know...

That's right, I have never had one at all.LOL
Yes, I do. I used to work on cranes and that was a big deal. Being gone and the heights. So........I don't do that any more.

How big are the browns up there? Is it to cold for brookies?

Browns can get 10+ lbs in the main river. Brookies are plentiful but they're usually in the smaller tributaries and top out at about 4 lbs

Fillin it up!!!
The rock is kind of temporary. I'll probably need to move some around when I transfer the rock from the 55.

That looks sweet. Congrats on getting it running.

All is well?
Drains are quiet?
I like the sand you got in there a lot. Did you say what it was?

Thanx! Drains are quiet but the temporary sump isn't. It's only rated for a 75 so it's almost overwhelmed. But hopefully I'll only need it for a week or two.
