[Turbomark]

Yea, I have the one inch drains in mine. Did you decide to go with the bean animal setup?

Yes that's what I will be going with. Seems like in these overflows it will be very tight Plumbing but people have been getting it done. I'm actually picking up my new 40 breeder this week but I can't really do anything with it until I get the Overflow. I may pick up the 20 long for the sump at the same time so I can at least start the stand build.

The plumbing isn't too bad but you can't follow the instructions exactly per bean animal. My siphon has no stand pipe, my open channel has a durso made from a couple of 90s, and the safety has a stand pipe just above the open channel.

Is your siphon 2- 90s right out of the bulkhead?

My siphon is actually bulkhead only. No 90s no pre-filter . I haven't had any issues with anything clogging it but I do often find a few dwarf ceriths in the filter sock when changing it out.

Oh ok I see. I'll have to wait until I get it in to see what I can do. Just have to wait patiently for them to open up shop again. If not I will probably go with Synergy Reef.

Yea, they're all the same thing. When I purchased my overflow the modular Marine one was significantly cheaper. Looks like they're now about the same as others.

Thanks a lot for those pics. Gives me a ton to work off of and also to show my fiancee who gets the final say in the cabinets finished look.

First purchases, both the 40B and the 20L. Now its time to build a stand. 2x4s for sure for the support but the trim and finishing is going to be a huge headache. Not sure how imI am going to match the more rustic look to other furniture I have.
