Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on plumbing my 180g. Like everyone else, I'm looking for the quietest, easy maintenance, efficient install I can manage. (Wife just leaned over my shoulder and said to emphasize quiet lol.)
I plan on having a Sequence ReeFlo Dart as my return pump aiming for about 1300-1400gph. (Don't worry, I've got thousands more gph of movement up top.)
I've done plenty of PVC work before but that's been per building codes and blueprints so I've never had to design my own. Any words of advice from past success and failure would really help.
I've grabbed some parts and mocked it up to see what fits and it'll fit. Think the pipe is overkill? Advice on ball valve choices? (By the way, I was thinking double union ball valves below the bulkheads so I can easily replace the valves if the housing leaks or wears out without draining the display tank.)
Here is a sketch I've worked up. (I know it looks kinda bad but hope you get the concept.)
Thanks for your help,
Seth
