    Thanks. The drawer is above the sump area. I had it removed in the FTS pic I posted above, and it basically sits right in front of where the plumbing exits the inside of the stand. You can see the drawer in the first pic of the thread. I have all of the cables running through rubber grommets, so there is very little concern about water getting in.

    Haha,CA is quite a long ways from here...

    Pro-tip: Buy slotted wiring duct. Screw in place. Arrange cables as needed. Snap on cover. Profit.

    Very Nice

    Mr. Cackalacky,

    I am very impressed with your sump build!! I wonder if you still have it? I would like to see pics of it running.

    What return pump did you use?

    Thanks,

    very jealous of this. I've been wanting to do it for my 34 solana as well but I don't want to drain it to drill it out.
