im at a really awesome spot, i did a reveal check and im happy with the kind of minerals on the map, at least i'll have some iron and there's zombies (yay! i love zombies! )but theres an aquifer..... i was thinking that if i make some ifinite power pumps to keep the water away long enough to breach the 1 layer, build walls and repeat with second i could go deeper,
only problem is that this looks awefully complicated, i could go ahead and use df liquids to just breach it but it feels like cheating (actually it is) so any of got a suggestion? (btw, i can't get stone it's under the aquifer layers)

This thread has a method for piercing an aquifer of any depth, using only wood.  It is kind of complicated, but it works for 1 or 10 levels of aquifer.  The method suggested by QuantumMenace on page 2 is the one you want.

You might want to get acquainted with the cave-in method too if you plan on bringing magma up past the aquifer.

You can make wooden blocks.

Though, I have made it a habit to always bring 3 stone blocks with me, as well as a handful of raw wood and stone
