Fantastic looking tank. Purple pipe is cool. One thing I would have done is plumb the main drain to the most forward hole in the overflow. That would put the filter roller, gate valve and drain up front. Easier to reach since these will be the maintenance items on the drainage system. Hard to tell from the video but the trickle looks just a bit high. I like mine just below the weir so there is a bit of a dropoff.

@ReefDudes 3 жыл бұрын

I have the skimmer infront of the roller which i willc lean more often so that was my logic! but if it is a pain to clean i can alwyas swap it later :) The trickle is just a smide lower than the weir.. i may lower it a bit more later but so far its working well!

@@ReefDudes btw, just started trying out co2-remover on the skimmer. Boosted pH by 0.3 and had to increase balling with +25%! Maybe not a long term solution though, but will be interesting to see your effect with a kalk reactor 👍

@neilphillips3193 3 жыл бұрын

I like the straight up bean animal mod. No elbows. I’ve been running my display like that for 6 months and never had issues. Actually find it restarts just a few seconds quicker too. I’m about to plumb a lowboy50 unto my display system as a grow out. When I move, in around a year, I’ll be adding a dedicated independent frag system for archive/ duplication.

Simple and effective! I have done it for a while to.. as long as you have a good gate valve its easy to tune it :)

Where is cheapest place to get the colored PVC piping? Or can you just spray paint the cheap white stuff

@ReefDudes 3 жыл бұрын

You can paint. If I was to I would use Kryon plastic fusion. Let it fully cure. Stuff out of water should hold up fine. Pipe in water needs a touch up after a year or so in saltwater. So buying actual color pipe has the advantage of not chipping and no long term issue in saltwater. In Canada reefpvc. In US. bRS
