?? for Mods on my tank

[tunicata]

I have a standard 120g NRR.

I currently use a CPR dual overflow with flex tube for plumbing.

I want to change over the plumbing and hard plumb the system so i can build a manifold.

To keep costs low...instead of buying a new/used RR tank, I'm just going to continue using the current overflow and just spend less to buy the PVC trimmings I need.

Does this seem reasonable?

Would there by any problems from going the cheaper route?


Any other alternatives?

ps. the main reason I did not intentionally purchase a RR tank to begin with, was that I did not want to lose any floor space.

also, if I do the manifold, I would want to power:
inlet for 10"x6" fuge
phosban reactor
carbon reactor
kalkwasser reactor

I currently use a Mag 12 submersible and it's throttled back a bit.
I run 2 WP 40's in the tank.

The pump is about...4 or so feet below the tank.

will the mag 12 be strong enough to feed all ports WELL, without being extended to its max capabilities?

I don't think it will, since those are all low flow needs, but want to plan ahead.

the mag 12 is at least...4 yrs old anyway.

The manifold is easy to make, just remember bernoilli's (sp) law, the smaller the pipe diameter the faster the delivery but less water delivered. The current pump will not have any problem. I may have a sample manifold in my wood shop if you want...

woot woot for Physics!
I'll have to check out your manifold.

Are you still on vacation? I can swing by to get a look Thursday.
