My 1000 Gallon Glass Aquarium (1000+ Gallons for Dummies)

High speed pool pumps (3600rpm) are self priming. The Wave I are designed for low amp so are at (1725rpm) which is not self priming. As I suggested to masterb on his build with a Reeflo and Ultima, the initial priming can be done by shop vac-ing the filter backwash outlet to start the syphon into the pump and filter. Or as you suggested, install tee fittings.

Thanks Ken. Nice trick of the trade with the shop vac.
 
The stand is still at the powdercoaters, as it was built 32" tall instead of 36" tall. I was at the shop today to pick up some pond netting to use with a stock tank while moving tanks and fish later.

I took this picture of my son next to a 72"X30"X36" tank at the shop. It's footprint is almost exactly 1/4 the size of my tank. Stack four of these in a 2X2 square and you'd have my tank. After I explained that to my wife, she just shook her head and went back to the truck.

Can't wait to see her expression when she sees the filtration and fish.
 
I still remember your comment, if I can convince you that my bass isn't Azul and you will take them in.

After seeing this blog, I am going to pump them up, get a positive ID and send them your way! :D

Let me know ASAP. I've completed my stocking list for the tank.
