Marc I believe you I just love to ask questions since I'm new to the whole plumbing thing. If you think it's better to tap of that return then I will.

 

[arconom]

Ok Marc here is what I have

Where is a good placment?

Also I wonder if the one you thought was better is ok to use with SW,All plastic construction? I will call Monday

this is just me but why not put a "tee" right after your gatevalve coming off the return pump and then tee down the excess water off that. will save you some PVC pipe...although not much.

I agree. Sorry, I was busy today.

Marc what can I do in terms of making a manifold I'm limited by the size of PVC which is 1 1/2inch and the amount of room I have to work with.

 

[arconom]

Would this work?

 

[arconom]

 

[melev]

Yes, that should work. I don't know how long that piece is, but you could even possibly install two in the rising part, and two in the horizontal part, instead of 4 in a row. Once you add that, you'll probably no longer need that bleed off valve (I guess that is what it is) running to the right and into the sump (in the picture above).

 

[NCreefwannabe]

will you have enough flow through the manifold?

 

[arconom]

Yes it is a bleed off. I will work on that this weekend..

NOW for the unveiling of the "Just about done hood"

 

[arconom]

Also is it ok to dial down a Iwaki pump?

 

[melev]

Oooh, it rolls!!!!!! More pictures.

Dial down the Iwaki? Why would you need to do that?

 

[NCreefwannabe]

haha at first glance it looked like you had crumbled aluminum foil on the back of your tank......

So will that entire huge canopy move? or another part?

 

[arconom]

The entire canopy moves.

Marc my Bleed side is like a waterfall.

 

[melev]

I have a feeling you may not need it for much, once the manifold is sharing water to other equipment. Keep in mind you could even have one of the gate valves control the amount of water going back to your reef tank, perhaps.

Im pleased to see someone with as many pipes and cables I have.

Looking good,

Paul.
