Plumbing for my aquarium actually started while the house was getting built. I knew exactly where the aquarium was going, and exactly where the filtration closet would be, but was left with one problem. The builder would not put hot/cold water and a sewer line in the closet for me. Oh well, I figured, I'll do it myself. My father came down and after the day crew left we snuck into my house and did a little plumbing of our own.

That's my father. He sits where my kitchen sink is now. That's the sewer line and water lines coming in for the sink and the lower copper pipe to his left was existing for my refrigerator. Two stubs of copper are seen above the fridge line, originating from the closet.

To the left of the my father is the closet. Of course once we completed the project I received a phone call from the builder the following morning. He was rather ticked at me for doing that and he ripped out everything we did. He said he was going to charge us for the labor, but never did. He also instructed me to stay out of the house from here on in because it wasn't my house until closing. That sucked because the following night I was planning on returning to run my wiring for my 7.1 Surround Sound. Now I had to do that the hard way, not to mention reinstall the water lines and sewer.

To continue on with the project move along to the closet.
