Manifold?

[k9asia]

Working on my main return Manifold and wondering were the dump valve for excess pressure should be. Before the return and equipment or after. IE. DUMP, RTNS, CHILLER, FUGE, CA REACTOR, ECT>>>

Or, EQUIPMENT then DUMP?

Using a Reeflow Goby or Baracuda, so i will have more than enough flow and whant to be able to throtle the flow without to much back pressure on the pump..

Before the Returns but can be placed anywhere in between the pump and the return.

In a 50 gallon main tank this seems overkill depending on the model number.
In the fuge or sump to much flow means less effective results.You want around 100 gph going through it and to little isnt good and to much isnt good.
You use this pump for the sumps health and then powerheads for the main tanks water flow.

NICE find Builderguy.

PVC manifolds and distributors... very cool. You just saved me a lot of time my friend. I owe you a frag some day.

I'm putting manifolds in my sump/equipment shed, and am considering building a sandbed housing with them, and adding some along with the back wall of my tank.

Perfect.

No worries...glad I could help.

- I'll catch you at a frag swap either in SF or LA sometime and make it worth your while.

In fact, time to start a new thread making sure Im not crazy for what Im planning with these manifolds. Just awesome.
