looks good I did the same thing to my wall from the kitchen to the living room. did you brace the lower wall to help support the weight? I ended up taking half the wall down and bracing and running outlets overhead. Looks good so far. Ps please make sure that tank dont leak before you put it in there. mine did and had to take it back apart to fix it.

Crz: I built my upstairs frameing eletric and stuff. So i have alittle background (jack of trade) not the best.
Bunny: i would have went bigger but limited on space and i already had the 135 tank. you know work with what you got .
I got it installed going to let it clear up then all the rock and stuff. Working on the plumbing tomm. I have a Sequence 4300 pump and made a 75 gal. sump. Ill post more as i go.

OK
I HAVE A PROBLEM. :help: :help:
My Sequence 4300 pump wont prim. it is sitting level with my 75 gal sump. i filled the lines with water. it is about 18" above water level. i dont have a drilled tank to put it below water level.
any ideas?

You could try setting up a sort of expansion tank or priming tank above the level of the pump. Perhaps a small 10 gal tank setup above the pump connected to the suction of the pump. I am not sure how you could work it into your setup but I imagine you could install a valve in the line so that once it is primed you could just shut the valve. By having the tank there it would be easy to reprime it later if you had to. Just an idea

During a Power outage i would be in trouble. I fig. it would have enough suckin to pull the water

Another option for priming the pump would be to add a powerhead before the pump, the powerhead would keep the pump primed and if the power went out and came back on it would automatically reprime....

Well I tried to draw something up but it didn't really turn out but I will try to explain the concept. I did this once because I had a canister filter at the same level as my tank and it wouldn't keep suction. all I did was place a powerhead in my tank and connected the suction of my canister filter to the discharge of my powerhead with tygon tube. When I did this it was temporary for me but if you want to make this permanent I would change a few things but here is my idea.
Well actually I did draw it again, figured it would be easier then explaining. The check valve and the second suction are there so if the powerhead can't supply enough water for the return pump the pump still can operate at full capacity. The check valve is there so that the powerhead won't just circulate water back out the suction again. Hope this all makes sense and is something you can use....
