I installed two thermowells and plugged up the hole for the old one. I'm using one of the thermowells for the pump/filtration system and the other as a temperature sensor for a waterbed heater that I plan to attach to the side of the unit in order to keep it heated while using the tank, so that you don't have run the loud and disturbing filtration system while in the tank as the water cools down to keep it heated at body temperature.
I started putting the PVC together, which wasn't as difficult as I anticipated, but I need one more attachment, hopefully available at the local hardware store, to complete the closed system and test it with some actual water. Once I add the water, if it doesn't leak and the pump/filtration system works, I will will put the salt in. I don't want to add the salt until everything seems right.
