Finished the plumbing on the tank today! performed a leak test, all the plumbing checked out fine, no leaks. However, I discovered a tiny leak in the sump. The last baffle separating the skimmer section from the return has a tiny leak at the bottom. It is very slowly letting water into the return section, I will have to give John at AA a call to see what he can do about it.
So this tank has the bean animal drains and I must say they are definitely dead silent! It was so quiet, the only thing you could hear was the durso drain on my 65G! Also the bk skimmer wow! That thing is completely silent, the slight hum from the return pump was much louder than the skimmer. I am impressed, can't wait to see what gunk it can pull.
Leak testing, I let it run all day. No leaks!
Bean Animal Drains. If you plan to build a new tank in the future, I highly recommend this drain system.
No Bubble from the drain lines at all! The bubbles you see on the sump walls are from the drain purging itself of air to create a full siphon.
Filling the tank back up with RO water, don't mind the bowl. It was placed there so the incoming water doesn't stir up the sand.
