    Otty, I just read this entire thread...Stunning..Absolutely Stunning8)
    When reading this from the beggining up to this point the perspective is Awesome!
    Most Impressive of all is your awesome luck in having the friends you do and the patience you've practiced to make this beauty of a tank happen.

    LOL...I think I'll print this picture out and tell the grandkids what could happen if they misbehave;D

    Thanks a bunch. It is finally starting to get rewarding after all the work. The bad thing is the kids still want to get back in there and play...;D

    Otty what you can do is increase the pipes to 1.5 inches and 1.1/2 tee .. The added head pressure and expansion room in the pipe will increase the flow might even jump up to 2 inch pipe ..?

    The holes I drilled are 1" holes, remember I used your bit...;D Are you saying increase from 1.25" to 1.5 on the standpipe and keep the 1" bulkhead??

    Thanks Matt! See what we do while your gone..... :)
