Drilling ... constant water, towel to catch the cut out, and the most important thing (after the drill and hole saw) - drill guide!

Cuts were a little rough on the other side, but not enough to worry about.

The all important water test (not that I had even 1% doubt!).

Stand and tank.

Thinking of sticking/attaching these three power boards up the side for nice easy access to switches etc.

Next step is to get the plumbing sorted, then it will be onto Operation Transfer.

I thought you were gonna say the most important thing was a beer haha.
Great job with the holes :)

Looks great, love the jig for holding the hole saw - beats my piece of plywood with a hole in it

Great stuff! Not thinking about the fancy power boards from K&J?

I did have a tinnie nearby actually - was a hot day!

Thought about it, but not sure I have the right kind of space for it. I probably could/should have designed the stand around having something like this, but didn't think of it at the time.

Still need to work out a way to mount/suspend my dosing unit ...

I used two small shelf supports for my dosing pump. Kinda like these ones but they don't have the support bar.

How about one of those fish street ones? They look pretty snaz.

Yeah I was considering something like this. Just need to suss out where it could go.
