Prisitine plumbing thread!

Had to do it. [emoji3]
Your plumbing looks great. Nice setup

Lol I agree with you. I notice it every time I open the door. I'm like how did I not notice?!

I should just grab some acetone and clean it off.

Just did a dry fit, before I mark and glue.

Looks nice! Any chance you can post a pic of the side of your tank /stand? It looks like you made the stand a big longer to accommodate the drain pipes. I'm thinking of doing that with me new build.

Looks good, what size/type sump is that? Do you have a pic from the front?

Thanks Derek

I'll post another pic, when finished. Just got done cutting out my shelves and ready to get them painted.

Wow must be nice to have show pieces above and below. Good job

Some handy work I finished up today. This is the sump (20L) for my custom 65 display.

If you're interested, check out my build thread here.

Mine probably does not count, but wth.

Might look a little better if I would clean up the sump room/man cave.

It's not the prettiest, but I had fun plumbing this custom 275 for a friend.

I wish I had removed the temporary skimmer stand out of the way before this picture was taken.
The blue pvc we got at bulkreefsupply.com was fun to work with.

Getting ready to plumb my 120G with Synergy Reef Overflow and a 40B sump/refugium. Lots of great examples in here to learn from. I'm curious to hear from the experts - what sort of process do you go through to come up with the best layout? There's so many different ways to plumb a system, but keeping it simple and elegant is an achievement!

 

[FFrankie]

For me simplicity is the key. Don't over think it

I can't even begin to follow what all that does!

Bahahaha. Hard to explain to be honest. Return pump is plumbed into a drain line, and a "recycle" line so I can clean and filter just the sump. Then the manifold for my ATS and reactors are ran off a seperate pump.

A work in progress, but so far so good:

Borrowed a friend's 3D printer and made my own PVC supports:

 

[karimwassef]

are they hollow?

 

[FlyingFishSKYw]

I don't remember what the exact fill % is, but it's got a honeycomb structure. These aren't supporting any weight. They're more like stabilizers than actual supports.
